Search - Various Artists :: Vintage Chill 4: Winter

The Vintage Chill series comes full circle with the release of Volume 4 - Winter. Winter arrives signaling the end of the growing season and with it a time for celebration and reflection. Vintage Chill Winter covers both of these moods like a blanket of snow - the music is both relaxing and bubbly with the variety of rhythms and tempos that typify the Vintage Chill sound. This is the perfect year-end CD for quiet listening or as background while entertaining. Track Highlights: Jody Watley, one of the true dance divas of the 80?s, covers Peter Gabriel?s "Don't Give Up" - a gutsy move which Jody pulls off with an enchanting soulful vocal interpretation and a really sexy jazz/house groove backing her up. While Ella needs no introduction, her timeless classic is remixed by Germany?s own De-Phazz. De-Phazz brilliantly deconstructs "Wait Till You See Him" into a smoky, downtempo soundscape that retains the sweetness of Ella?s vocals. Hailing from Holland, Adani & Wolf have long been musical compatriots of Praful, a multi-talented saxophonist who is currently making waves at Smooth Jazz radio with his debut album. On "Where Will I Be (Sem Seu Amor)" Praful croons deliciously in Portuguese while laying down his smooth sax stylings to perfection. Micatone, one of Germany's up-and-coming Nu Jazz artists, first appeared on the Vintage Chill Autumn collection and here they serve up a low-key and emotional track featuring the lovely vocals of Lisa Bassenge. One of the most asked-about artists from our Elemental Chill series, Max Melvin delivers the appropriately titled "Slowburn", a soaring, string-laden chillout epic backed by congas and understated percussion that takes you on a romantic, lush, cinematic flight. Beginning with a feeling of the coming of dawn, Slowburn builds to an emotional and moving sonic trailride - guaranteed to become a chillout classic.
