Blimey, it's been a year since Ramrock Red Records introduced us to New King and their return features Noah of vocals, Ruben Campos on Spanish guitar and D.Foe on the remix, you'll agree, 'Life Is Good' after listening to this one!
Remembering the 'Summer Sun' from last year (see review HERE) and the equally fantastic Stefano De Santis Remix (see review HERE) they're back with some ambient Spanish guitar beachwear that's that's more than perked up by the D.Foe (aka Mark Daniels and also New King, 45 Dip, Marden Hill and Sugarman) and Rob Clydesdale (also New King).
The original versions' gentle breeze of Noah's vocals and genuine Granadan gypsy flamenco guitar from Mr. Campos makes this a winner for the summer sunshine and when added to the deeper trip-hop Balearics of the remix it's a must play back-2-back combination.
When the sun is out, this is more than hard to resist, especially if you like a bit of Lonnie Liston Smith cosmic echoes.
Talking of jazz-funk legends, there's rumours of more remix action for 'Life Is Good' by that's man Stefano De Santis so stay tuned.
