‘Endless love is not enough’ sings SIVERT HØYEM in the title track of his new album, which now streams on NOTHING BUT HOPE AND PASSION. Over the last years the Norwegian singer had a hard time. First his former MADRUGADA bandmate Robert Burås died, which led to the end of MADRUGADA. After this HØYEM focused on his solo career, but right after his new album Endless Love was finished his musical careed was disturbed by sudden death again.

All-star albums are usually dodgy affairs, but the over-arching talents - and, more importantly, production experience - of Masters at Work's Kenny Dope and Little Louie Vega keep Nuyorican Soul from being overburdened with cooks. Roy Ayers, George Benson, and Jazzy Jeff contribute prominently to four tracks, and vocalists Jocelyn Brown and India (Vega's wife) are heard as well, but over half of the album is comprised of instrumental tracks - several which include Tito Puente on vibes and timbales, flutist Dave Valentin, trumpeter Charlie Sepulveda, organist/arranger Hilton Ruiz, and trombonist Steve Turre. In keeping with Masters at Work's heritage, most of the album is Latin in feel and jazzy in composition, but with ever-present synths and piano runs that belie their heavy dance heritage. Not that it's a crowded field, but Nuyorican Soul is one of the best all-star dance albums ever recorded.

The album features German trumpeter Till Brönner, vocal contributions from Carleen Anderson, Robert Hart, Kris Kristofferson, Noel McCalla, Caitlyn Scarlett, Viktoria Tolstoy and Ruby Turner, as well as appearances by members of the Earth Band and others.
Lone Arranger is a series of adaptations of very well-known music, including Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez, For You, I Heard It Through The Grapevine and All Right Now, alongside new versions of recordings that contained samples of Manfred’s own music – The Prodigy, Kanye West, Disco Boys.

It takes a few spins to understand, and it is one of this prolific singer's many, many recordings, but when you spend some quality time with You Know Me, it starts unraveling its secrets in ways that only a truly great recording can. "Any Heart" is pure power, with the band weaving textures around Jackie DeShannon's distinctive vocal, the guitar relentless as it sustains the wall of sound. A true labor of love, few artists can produce a song this strong, and the fact that it follows three equally powerful compositions is evidence of the majesty that sweeps across all 14 tracks.

29 tracks and over 75 minutes of music, spotlighting the singer/songwriter's illustrious career.

Keep On Chooglin' is a Creedence Clearwater Revival compilation album, that includes the eponymous track, taken from the Bayou Country album.
