If
music is all about the mood, then Slow Train Soul is all about the music.
The Danish duo—producer Morten Varano and singer/songwriter Lady
Z (aka Z Star)—has crafted a collection of mellow yet moving songs
that intertwine funk and soul over jazzy breakbeats. The results are
impressive. Lead single "In the Black of Night," which was
featured in the Hotel Costes compilation series, is a hypnotic, bee-bop-flavored
affair. In "Naturally," Lady Z's vocals are confident and
strong. Other highlights include "Twisted Cupid," "Slow
Train" and "Stoned Rays."—RH
