Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings - Give The People What They Want LP
SKU: DAP032
Description:
Give The People What They
Want is certainly an appropriate title for Sharon Jones & the
Dap-Kings' new release. After more than a decade of near constant
touring, recording, and as one of the most formidable live acts
performing today, they know what their audience wants from them.
Happily, it's what they want too.
The appeal of Sharon Jones
& the Dap-Kings just keeps growing. Michael Bublé has duetted
with Sharon on "Baby, You've Got What it Takes", after recording
"Crazy Love" with the Dap-Kings back in 2009. The Dap-Kings also
contributed to several songs on this year's smash album "To Be
Loved". They count Beck, John Legend, Lou Reed and Rufus Wainwright
among their collaborators, and of course the Dap-Kings were the
band behind Amy Winehouse's Back In Black album for which Gabriel
Roth, bandleader and co-founder of Daptone Records, won a Grammy
for his engineering skills.
Yet it's the Augusta,
Georgia native Sharon Jones who is the undisputed centre of
attention here. A recent Hollywood turn acting alongside Denzel
Washington will certainly do her star power no harm, but one listen
to Give The People What They Want will tell you Sharon doesn't need
the silver screen to set her name in lights. Her fervent,
impassioned singing goes straight to your heart; those sweet soul
hooks stay in your head for days on end. These are vocal
performances that withstand any comparison to the soul
greats.
Give The People What They
Want is the band's fifth album, recorded at home in Bushwick's
Daptone House of Soul Studios after two years of touring behind
2010's lauded I Learned The Hard Way. These ten songs are seasoned
with the classic Soul sound one might expect - yet there's a
freshness in the band's performances and songwriting that gives the
group's fifth studio album a feel unlike anything they've done
before. From the electrifying stomp of album opener "Retreat!" to
the instantly familiar feel-good groove of "We Get Along," via
"Stranger To My Happiness", which perfectly captures the Dap-Kings'
sound in three-and-a-half joyous minutes, this is a record that has
it all. Give
the people what they want, indeed.
