Prepare to journey back to the raw and unfiltered streets of '90s street soul with Gold In The Shade's timeless classics - "Over You" and "Shining Through." This release is a testament to the era's spirit, bringing you the heart and soul of a DIY music scene, now expertly remastered and revived.
"Over You" captures the essence of street soul with its gritty breaks, emotive chords, heavy basslines, and off-kilter vocals. It's a rough and tough anthem that embodies the optimism of an underground movement. This sought-after gem, brought to you by TSR bossman Robert Roper, Arletta Davis, and Sonia Johnson, is a snapshot of a bygone era that still resonates today.
"Shining Through," the trio's first single from 1990, is a bassbin-rattling love song that pulls at your heartstrings. Sonia and Arletta's vocals, paired with Robert's studio wizardry, create a captivating underground experience.
The journey to bring you "Over You" was an adventure in itself, with two years of relentless searching for the tape and the record. Thanks to Sean P's mint condition copy and his meticulous restoration skills, the magic of '91 is finally back, with distorted samples, low-fi hits, and speaker-rumbling bassweight, delivering pure, unbridled emotion from the depths of North West London.
