Michael Olatuja – Speak (2009)

Posted on 18.08.2009 at 16:36 in Albums, Music by Martin

We try to cover as wide spectrum of artists as possible here at RLSLOG so here’s something completely different – a new album Speak from independent jazz singer Michael Olatuja.

Speak, the title of bassist Michael Olatuja’s debut album, holds deep personal meaning for its creator, exemplifying in a single word the album’s underlying themes of hope, encouragement, inspiration and positivity. The album, which will be released on July 28 on Backdrop, ObliqSound’s sub-label focusing on modern electronic and groove-based music, tells the story of the British/Nigerian artist’s musical and personal journey.

“The language of music is one that we all speak,” Olatuja explains. “It unites diverse cultures.” The ten songs on Speak find Olatuja stepping out of his role as sideman and finally presenting his personal vision as producer and composer. With musical influences and guests from around the world, the album touches on each spot Olatuja has hit around the globe, including his childhood in London and Lagos, Nigeria, and his professional years in London and New York.

    should be interesting. The superb Lynden David Hall (R.I.P) has been dead for a few years now. Good to see he has some unreleased stuff.
