Uncle Nef - Love Songs

2019 release. Drummer Shannon Powell stands tall in the lineage of New Orleans' rhythmic giants; he is a torchbearer of the city's culture and one of the finest drummers in the world. He's also a great singer, his vocals invoking styles that echo the churches, street parades and jazz clubs of his hometown. Darren Hoffman is a multi-instrumentalist and music producer originally from Miami, Florida. On Love Songs, we find Powell and Hoffman stretching out, but not relaxing at all. The mood is highly charged and powerful, with Powell hitting hard and Hoffman shredding like a chainsaw on razor wire. There are some subtle love songs on Love Songs, but many tracks that speak to the full experience of love - the energy, the tension, the elation and the agony. Classic tracks are included to keep the concept in context with originals both fun and frenzied mixed in.
