100 Word Review: Shuya Okino - Destiny replayed by Root Soul


Label: Village Again/Extra Freedom

Released: January 2013




Shuya Okino’s Destiny was one of the big crossover albums of 2011 with its mix of original tunes and covers of boogie classics. Whereas many albums by live bands are subsequently reissued as remix albums, this was an original album produced by a DJ reinvented by a live band. Keeping the original vocal tracks, bassist Kenichi Ikdea (aka Root Soul) has enlisted the services of some The Room regulars and transported Okino’s album back into the late seventies/early eighties. The sound is something like EWF meets Rose Royce meets A Taste of Honey. Time to get your dancing shoes on!
