Realities Remix EP (New 12")

Label: MotorCity Wine

"James Simonson and Blair French return to MotorCity Wine for the Realities Remix EP. Realities was originally recorded in various hotel rooms across Switzerland, Germany, Colombia, NYC, Chicago, and Detroit while James was on tour as music director for soul legend Bettie Lavette. He took advantage of every resource he could find including French vocalist Louisa Rosi, Chicago drummer Michael Caskey, various field recorded street sounds from bicycles to a cat purr of “Electronolux”, the hotel cat in Switzerland. The original Realities ultimately won best world album of 2020 in the Detroit Music Awards, and discerning ears might recognize James’s bass playing on John Beltran’s Back To Bahia series..."
