De Profundis NATALIA MATEO In “De Profundis”, fast rising jazz singer Natalia Mateo combines the worlds of jazz, Polish folk, and singer-songwriting into a mesmerizing game of illusion. The album is inspired by Mateo’s Polish origins, by the influences of her adoptive city of Berlin, and by artists who defy convention like Björk and Joni Mitchell. Mateo captivates the listener with her intensity as much as her restraint. Judiciously sparse instrumentation creates a sense of intimacy and a unique sound. Through originals and covers, singing that can be both gentle/lyrical and angular/punchy, “De Profundis” reveals Natalia Mateo’s individuality in full.

Unshot Movies Javier GIROTTO / Jon BALKE / Furio DI CASTRI / Patrice HERAL An unshot movie is a story that exists in the imagination. This album isn’t a soundtrack, but recounts twelve unshot movies through music. The narrators here are four remarkable musicians: the Argentinian saxophonist Javier Girotto, Norwegian pianist Jon Balke, Italian bassist Furio Di Castri and French drummer Patrice Héral, who rely on their own energetic creativity, exciting melodic themes, sophisticated arrangements and innate, natural cohesiveness, and manage to give each track its own distinctive moods, colors and features with great expressive power.

I Just Can't Keep On Going TYRONE DAVIS This Elemental Music reissue presents Tyrone Davis’ classic album I Just Can’t Keep On Going, originally released by the Columbia label in 1980. His penultimate record for Columbia, it shifts in mood from fast numbers to the elegant ballads that are his trademark. Davis is considered the “king of romantic Chicago soul”, for he moved to that city in 1959 and worked there as a valet for bluesman Freddie King. Eventually, Davis began singing in clubs on the city’s West and South Sides, and by 1965 he had been signed by the Four Brothers label. Three years later, he moved to producer Carl Davis’ Dakar Records and earned his first hit, “Can I Change My Mind.“ The song went to Number One on the R&B charts, and hit the pop Top Five. In the Seventies, he scored other R&B chart-toppers with “Turn Back the Hands of Time” and “Turning Point”, before switching to Columbia Records, where his classic Soul sound was oriented more to Disco music and Philly sound. Tyrone’s sleek vocal style burned up the charts with his sensational version of the standard “How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved by You)”, featured here, as well as with his smooth bedroom ballads “I Just Keep on Going” and “Overdue”. Without a doubt Tyrone Davis is one of the most imitated soul singers of the modern era.
