E. Live makes a triumphant return to Star Creature HQ with yet another Boogie Blast Off, this time of the Jazz-Funk variety, marking his third full-length release with the esteemed Chicago label. The much-anticipated 'Soft Approach' is set to make seismic waves in 2024. This venture, predominantly a solo endeavor, follows the evolutionary trajectory set by the critically acclaimed 'Boogie For Life' in 2020 and the equally distinct 'Cloud Vibes' in 2022. With a nu-school approach leaning towards the jazzier realms of disco, E. Live masterfully maintains an unwavering dance floor allure. The album is a brilliant fusion of accessible and sophisticated sounds, creating an enchanting sonic landscape that seamlessly bridges disco and jazz elements. Genius Level production for a solo studio act.
Highly recommended for fans of musical luminaries such as Roy Ayers, Patrice Rushen, Khruangbin, FKJ, and Toro Y Moi, etc..., 'Soft Approach' promises to be a welcome addition to the playlists of those who appreciate a perfect blend of danceable rhythms and refined musicality. As E. Live continues to push the boundaries of sonic exploration, this release cements his status as a trailblazer in the contemporary Boogie scene.
