Posted by LetsLoop on February 17, 2017, 7:03 pmDrum and bass legend @Goldie is back!! I Adore You is the lead single to his upcoming double album, The Journey Man, which is his first in 19 years and follows up 1998's Saturnz Return & his now legendary 1995 debut album, Timeless.
Here's what Goldie had to say about his comeback album:
"I often look at music not so much as a producer but like a director. You’re drawing together engineers, performers and arrangers to create something special, something magical. It’s like alchemy. The notes, the music, the lyrics, they’re all in my head and each element has to be communicated and brought to life to create the finished track.
I’m always inspired by great movie directors – people like Stanley Kubrick and PT Anderson – and, if you think about it, it’s quite a similar approach. They start off with a vision and then they use that vision to deploy the actors and the cameramen and the editors in order to create the finished film."
According to his Facebook page, the album concept came together over a five year period, with a further two years mapping it out on various drawings. It was then recorded in a three month period last summer in Asia.
In addition to the new album, Goldie has also announced 2 dates at the legendary Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club in London (over the years it's seen performances from legends like @Chet Baker, @Ella Fitzgerald, @Nina Simone, @Curtis Mayfield, @George Benson and more). He will be performing on February 24th/25th and tickets will go very fast (they may even be gone by the time you read this) so grab them if you can!
If you're new to Goldie and would like to hear more from the drum & bass pioneer, you should start with Inner City Life and then once you're hooked move on to his seminal Timeless album (link in first paragraph).
Btw, if you'd like to hear more about Timeless, Goldie had a chat with FACT a couple of years ago when the album turned 20. It's well worth your time: factmag.com/2015/12/16/tem...
