Soulperfreesia - Love Won't Do Me Right (2014)

   

Soulpersona is musician, producer, remixer, arranger and founder of the Digisoul label. From the well received underground success of his debut Soulacoaster album, he has gone on to produce and release the highly acclaimed The Lapdancer, a concept album starring Princess Freesia (Lija Rolavs) as her alter ego Avalon Lexus and most recently with the album Amalgamation under the Soulperfreesia guise as Princess Freesia.
Soulpersona's production credits include Charlie Wilson, Jocelyn Brown, Jody Watley, Light Of The World and many other soulful acts. He is currently working on a brand new rare groove album for Jocelyn Brown.
Going back to Soulperfreesia, the purpose of that guise is for creating music inspired by the 70's and 80's soul, jazz funk and rare groove movement; a great example of their work is the track featured today, Love Won't Do Me Right, a great slice of  authentic 1980's-inspired soul with catchy vocals by Freesia.
Its amazing how people think  that the Mark Ronson track Uptown Funk sounds true to a 1980's soul/funk sound, when to my ears, its a homage and nothing else. A pretty decent one, but still a facsimile of the real thing. But  Love Won't Do Me Right sounds so 'right', if someone pressed it onto vinyl and stuck a fake 1980s label on it, I'd be fooled. Hell, I've listened to it several times in the last few days and I'd still swear it was an old 1980s track.
An instant classic.
