Angela Johnson – Presents….A Woman’s Touch
There is only a hand full of female producers in the music industry, and Angela Johnson has proved she can put it down with the likes of Patrice Rushen, Pebbles (Perri Reid), Chaka Khan, and a few others who have all, at one time, produced their own music.
This is the hottest independent Soul, R&B, Gospel, Jazz infused cd out. Angela composed all the music and co-wrote the melodies and played a variety of instruments. She also stepped aside to let other vocalists sing on her project, including two tracks she sang herself. The first track starts off with a introduction, which is funky within itself, then R&B vocalist Rashaan Patterson takes it from there.
There are also performances from Frank McComb who just blazed on the the track “Play”, Gordon Chambers lends is voice, my wife Maysa laced a track, Julie Dexter and members from Fertile Ground make appearances, Claude McKnight, Eric Roberson, Monet’, Tricia Angus and Lisala, Marlon Saunders, and all these artist‘s have cd’s out themselves. What it amazed me was the way that Angela brings all these different talents together in a really solidified sound. Knowing Angela is from the old school, this project has it all: Old school flavor, Nu-school sound, & definitely Classic soul.
If Angela decides to do a Vol. 2, I’m hoping she’ll go get Patrice Rushen, Teena Marie, Chaka Khan, Lenny Williams, James Ingram, Debra Bond, and many more to the table and create another great classic soul album!
