A great one from Monday Michiru – sweet,
soulful, and totally right on the money! The set's almost a return to the warm
soul territory that first won us over in Monday's work from the 90s – as she takes on a whole host of older American
soul tunes by Stevie Wonder, Teena Marie, and others – sung with a wonderfully mature vocal approach, and set to jazzy backings that really help change things up – and make the
record way more than just a simple set of cover versions! There's a great blend here – the instrumental depth that Monday's shown in recent
recordings, and the straightforward
soul of the early years – all handled with just the right production balance to make it come off perfectly. Titles include "Best Of My Love", "Um Amigo", "I Can't Help It", "Ooh
La La La", "Don't Disturb This Groove", "You Are The Universe", and "As".
