THIS AUTUMN WILL SEE THE RELEASE OF A COLLABORATIVE ALBUM BETWEEN AMP AND JAMAICAN REGGAE LEGENDS SLY AND ROBBIE
A new series from the Strut label, Inspiration Information brings together current artists and producers with their musical heroes for a mouth-watering one-off collaboration.
"This is monumental for me" says Amp. "I discovered Sly & Robbie through their Compass Point productions with Wally Badarou, all the Grace Jones records, 'Boops' too. I loved the way they experimented with a more ambient direction."
The album was recorded at Anchor Studios in Kingston, Jamaica during Amp's recent trip there, and will be released in October.
The result is a confident, laid back set that brings a whole new twist to Amp's trademark vocal style: Sly builds innovative digital and live rhythms, Robbie underpins the tracks with solid bass foundations and original generation guests "Sticky" Thompson (percussion) and Dalton Browne (guitar) add plenty of colour.
Amp will be over in Europe this Autumn to promote the album, before returning to Detroit to put the finishing touches to his next solo album, set for release in early 2009.
Keep checking Amp's website and myspace page for exclusive previews of tracks from the album in the coming weeks.
