Sola Rosa - Sola Rosa - Get It Together; The Remixes

20 Aug 2010 // A review by Dilemma

The first thing I want to say about this CD is GO BUY IT; it is easily the best CD out so far this year. If you liked 'Get It Together', the Remixes album is not just a documentation of life, or a soundtrack to summer that you reminisce with, the more you listen to it, it becomes a way of life.

Sola Rosa does not fit into a single genre and the Remixes Album has a diverse abundance of tracks for every occasion even though there are only 8 songs, there are 15 incredible tracks which feature an eclectic selection of vocalists including Iva Lamkum, German singer Bajka, and Spikey Tee.

Booming brass, slamming bass, Mariachi and Sci-fi sit together with a smooth and precise collaborations that when experienced, will change the way you hear music.

I had the pleasure of watching Sola Rosa during music month at Bar 3 in Auckland and they became the band that I fell in love with when I saw them live, however, The Remixes album outshines just a live experience and makes capturing music on a CD imperative. 

 

About Sola Rosa

Sola Rosa is one of Kiwi music’s most evolutionary and enduring acts.

With seven full-length albums, four EP's, a handful of hits, countless collaborations and numerous world tours, it’s been a 20-year labour of love for the man behind the music, Andrew Spraggon.

And although it’s punctuated with twists and turns in the form of constant change and innovation, one thing has remained the same – Spraggon’s steadfast commitment to making great albums that seamlessly blend a myriad of genres, from hip-hop and jazz, to neo-soul, latin and funk.

Jayson Norris - Save My Soul EP Review
16 May 2014 // by Dilemma
New from Jayson Norris is the Save My Soul EP as part of NZ Music Month. If you are a fan of Kora style rock or Tiki Taane melodies then you will love this five-song EP, cleverly incorporating roots and the groove of mainstream guitar rock’n’soul to blur genres.

Estère - Estere Album Review
10 May 2014 // by Dilemma
Released as a free download via Bandcamp the debut EP from Wellington singer/songwriter/beatmaker/producer Estere is definitely unique in the NZ music scene. Self-described as “just a girl with an MPC” Estere works her equipment and the product is individualistic, raw and worthy of a listen this NZ Music Month.
