Leon Ware & Quadron - Orchids for the Sun [EP] (2012)

Leon Ware teams up electronic pop soul duo Quadron! Leon is one of greatest artist-songwriter-composers and a living legend of American soul music – Quadron is a modern act whose genuine love for classic Motown and lesser-celebrated soul makes them a shining beacon as far as we're concerned – so we figured this would be a leftfield win of a joint effort, and it most certainly is! Ware's voice is holding up very well, thank you very much, and he contributes keys and synth bass on top of vocals. "Orchids For The Sun" has rich instrumentation, too – voila and violin, sax, clarinet, trumpet and flute over percolating beats. "Hold Tight" is just as strong, the electronics and live instrumentation working really well together! Really fresh, rewarding stuff!
