Patrice Rushen - Feels So Real: The Complete Elektra Recordings 1978-1984

Branching out from soul-jazz to "sophisticated R&B" at the tail end of the disco boom, Patrice Rushen teamed with a tight crew of musicians and studio craftsmen to make a major success out of her Elektra years. So many of these tracks have been reborn via covers, samples and appearances on ads, TV and the big screen-not to mention the TikTok dance craze surrounding "Forget Me Nots." Along with a 32-page booklet full of photos, lyrics and interviews with Patrice, this 5-CD set contains the remastered albums "Patrice," "Pizzazz," "Posh," "Straight from the Heart" and "Now" plus extended versions, instrumentals and previously unreleased studio takes. The definitive anthology from this tremendously talented R&B star includes her original hits "Hang It Up," "When I Found You," "Haven't You Heard," "Let the Music Take Me," "Look Up," "Never Gonna Give You Up (Pt. 1)," "Forget Me Nots," "I Was Tired of Being Alone," "Breakout!," "Feels So Real (Won't Let Go)," "Get Off (You Fascinate Me)" and more! Strut.
