Description:
Releasing her first album ‘McKay’ in 2003 in collaboration with PORTISHEAD’s GEOFF BARROW, Stephanie McKay’s new album ‘Tell It Like It Is’ sees the Bronx-born singer/songwriter work with local musicians to produce an album that wraps up classic soul, seventies funk-rock and old-school hip hop influences into one vibrant outpouring. Sometimes romantic and at others acutely topical, ‘Tell It Like It Is’ is an album full of strong performances and great song-writing. The album is packed with classic gems from the feel-good joy of the KATAYST produced lead single “Jackson Avenue”, to the outrageously funky, horn-fired groove of “Kinky”. The hip hop influenced “Oh Yeah” is a wind-in-the hair celebration with a cool groove, while a newly-incarnated version of the KATALYST co-written “Say What You Feel” appears in all its glory. R&B sensation ANTHONY HAMILTON appears on the smooth duet “Where Did Our Love Go?” resulting in an absolute gem of a ballad, while the album finishes with a refreshingly original take on WILLY MASON’s youth anthem for the 21st century “Oxygen”. She’s appeared on Roy Hargrove’s Grammy-nominated ‘RH Factor’ album in 2007, and playing bass in soul legend ME'SHELL NDEGEOCELLO’s live band during her performances at New York’s Blue Note earlier this year, Stephanie is widely recognised as one of the genre’s most gifted, diverse and exciting emerging talents.
