EL MICHELS AFFAIR & BLACK THOUGHT - GLORIOUS GAME
$29.99
When Leon Michels and El Michels Affair released their first record, 'Sounding Out The City' in 2005, it was hard to guess what was next for Michels and his then-introduced, now-patented "cinematic soul" sound. Now, four EMA studio albums and scores of tribute and remix projects later - all while producing for some of the biggest names in the industry - Michels has
trademarked his sound, with each project taking audiences somewhere new and pushing the boundaries of what he is known for. The man is a river, not a lake and this time he takes his golden touch into the realm of hip-hop laying down a musical bed for one of the greatest to ever rhyme into a microphone:
Black Thought of The Roots crew. Releasing on Big Crown Records, the LP is called 'Glorious Game' and it is a remarkable debut partnership in more ways than one. Michels provides his bottom-heavy, soul-tinged production for Black Thought who gives us some of the more personal and transparent verses we've ever heard from him. Sky High coloured vinyl version.
