New Artist!! Philip Owusu: "Goodnight" ....
[img:$uid]http://www.soul.../img:$uid]
Based in Copenhagen, Denmark, multi-instrumentalist Philip Owusu first hit the music scene as part of the duo Owusu and Hannibal, (Robin Hannibal would go on to form Quadron). The Owusu and Hannibal project gained an underground following, but didn't get much recognition from the mainstream. I hope that will change with the new solo album...
I love the fact that his sound isn't easy to categorize...with influences that range from Sly Stone to Kate Bush, to Cameo, and from Stevie Wonder to the Singers Unlimited, dude's music is definitely up my alley!!!
I featured this artist on my February org mixtape. So, now Philip has a new album due out soon, called "SUBS", and 'Goodnight' is the first track making the rounds now...

Oh yeah, girl you keep me off the ground The skyline leans, tips and turns Them demons are not easily appeased Oh you can drop my stained trainers right here on the side The evening rose up from a lull to meet it’s urgency I lined the shots and chasers up and lined them up again

We other orgers can always rely upon you and Pr. Neal to hip us to great music, this is no exception. I'm easy to please and I'll definitely look into a future purchase of this man's songs. Jeux Sans Frontiers | |

Cheers Great intro, harmony vocals and drum fills on "Goodnight". Philip's name somehow reminded me of keyboardist Philip Woo (Maze and others) lol. Owusu, is that from African or Asian heritage? Saw online that photo of Philip Owusu with Robin Hannibal before sometime. | |
