Various Artists - Try Try / Dollar

Double stunner crafted by two anonymous studiomasters from Hamburg. Two of the finest modern soul performances from recent years replanted into new musical territory and yet feel totally unforced and natural: the a-side introduces an insane trinidad-style steel drum melody that will spin in your head for days over an infectously jacking house groove before pulling out the georgous vocal part by the queen of hip-hop soul that was featured on a huge hit by former one half of Black Star. An even bigger cut might be the flipside where a celebrated UK soul singer's smooth falsetto delivery from his Dilla produced hit is cut up over and re-arranged over a sweeping midtempo deephouse groove.
