The
Song:
Whether our weatherman corroborates or not, spring has already officially
arrived, just in time for Kero One to lace us with the perfect
soundtrack for long summer days filled with sun, good friends, and good fun.
Roll back the drop top and cue your warm weather playlist, which will undoubtedly
include Kero One's "When the Sunshine Comes." Featuring
the smooth vocals of Britain’s
Ben Westbeech over improvisational guitar, syncopated keyboard rhythms, and
a soulful bass line, Kero One tells of the relief the summer brings. After
heartbreaks and baby daddy blues, the sunshine is the light at the end of
the tunnel.
The
Background:
Former web designer by day and rapper/producer/DJ by night, Kero One, stands
as a true testament to the do-it-yourself success story. His early career was
marked by endless hours of researching, cold calling, and networking to gain
exposure for his debut, self produced project Windmills of the Soul. Persistence
paid off with a little help from fate when one of the 50 copies of his album
was picked up in a tiny record store in Tokyo, Japan. Success was immediate,
as Windmills of the Soul became a hit overnight, which opened the floodgates
for international touring and performance opportunities. Three years later, after
a Best Hip Hop Album of 2006 award and collabos with Talib Kweli and Mark
Farina,
Kero One is back with his sophomore album entitled Early Believers, via his label,
Plug Label. Modulating from soulful jazz tinged tracks to upbeat synth-driven
party bangers, Kero One features some his favorite vocalists such as Giles Peterson
protégé UK singer Ben Westbeech, Finland's own modern day "Stevie
Wonder," and Portland's Ohmega Watts. Early
Believers will be released in
April 2009, just in time for spring cleaning and summer fun.
