Comme je vous disais il y a une semaine, le nouveau Waxpoetics is out avec en couv’ Al Green et Q-Tip.Comme d’hab, le mag creuse au plus profond du sillon avec au sommaire et en anglais parce que la paresse me mène “au pomme C”, “pomme V” !
Trêve de conneries, 4 pages d’interviews avec le Révérend histoire justement d’associer une histoire au “hit-lover-preacher” qu’il était. ?uestlove, James Poyser et Rich Nichols prennent alors le relais et nous invite à la session studio de “Lay It Down”, le nouveau projet d’Al Green produit par le trio from Philly en 2005 et à venir à la fin du mois.
Et maintenant le sommaire, comme promis:
Al Green
“We wrote the songs right there on the floor, right when the band was trying to get the changes down. So it was like fresh cream, baby. Wasn’t like having some songs sitting twenty years in the closet or nothing.”
Q-Tip
“My dad would always impress upon me and my sister to read and write. He would tell us how much of an art form it was for us to write. So he encouraged me to be a writer.”
Orlando Julius
“We were mostly successful in Nigeria. But, at that time, I was also interested in funk. I tried to incorporate funk into my music as well. After that, our popularity increased.”
