One is the track that had the longest transistion but the most fun ; ) It started off me diggin on 'Like Sonny' by John Coltrane and from there I wrote a bebop tune called 'Fast Food' (feat on my album Straight up). I then played it to an amazing producer from Holland called Jay Soul and he produced an killer beat and I ended up re-writing the whole song - there was some serious musical combat going on then!!! This is the result.
lyrics
Get up, work hard
Make sure that you pay your rent
Fit in, hold back
Never let them get thru your skin
Stay fit, eat well, spend your cash every day
Stay ahead and always on msn
Why do we let money rule our every day
Silently our love for life will slip away
Now’s the time to make the change - Fire away
One step forward is Giant steps –so what do you say?
Mind, body and motion will
Give us notion to
Find a direction
Cos we are To to together
Cos we are to to together
Cos we are one!
Strand up ahead
Do the things you wanna do
Add up, reach out
Find the words that’s true to you
Delight, light up
Brush right up and navigate
Fast Food –is it you or it yesterday?
One, First, Unity, Together, Family, Love, In love, Smiles, eyes, Butterflies, Summer, Open fields, Freedom, Breath,
Calm, thought, Listen, Notice, Community, Power, Solidarity, one!
Fast Food melody…

Some of the most beautifully put together Modern Soul to be found on BandCamp. Amber's sexy breathy vocals combined with early Erykah Badu-esque music is to die for. I am a lifelong fan. DJ V From CHICAGO
