FUSION ALBUM REVIEW!!
"Paul James – Fusion
One would be excused for thinking that Paul James was a drag act as we break into the electrifying opening track Frequency. On closer listening, it’s the start of great things as we move on from one she-vocal to another; Paul cleverly in control of this masterpiece in the background. Appropriately titled, the album is a fusion of what can only be described as dancefloor genius stemming from the last two decades, screaming for attention and packed with singles that Culture Beat, The Beloved, Snap or Sash at their peak would not disregard as one of their own.
Free from ballads, this is an album of attitude, frankness and confidence throughout. It is Girl Power achieving new heights as we bounce from the depths of relationship (Too Late For Sorry, Mystery) to planetary awareness (Computer Generation, Solar System) to lyrically sexy raw confessions (Dirty Boy, Text Sex). All vocalists are uniquely presented through their tracks. Ranging from Disco to House and from bleep to sparkle, we are consistently in sound ecstasy.
Lack of male vocal may have been a risk for fellow dance acts such as Van Dyk or Darren Styles, but the album here is strong. ‘I can almost smell your fear… you can’t compete, accept defeat’ expresses Zoe Alexander and Donna Hidalgo on No Competition, a hidden metaphor perhaps? Vocals range from Rosey’s Kylie-esque pureness on Space Odyssey which is just beautiful, and can only be described as the modern-day Minnie Riperton classic ‘Loving You’, through to the soaring power source that is Ms. Carol Jiani who delivers Radioactive with such convincing passion.
Standout tracks are I Wanna Go Back sung by Katie Thomas, which oozes Robert Miles at his peak, subtle, dreamy and atmospheric, as is Intoxicated, a track which would not be out of place on Dannii Minogue’s ‘Neon Lights’ album. On track Love Overloaded we can imagine the size of the smile on Donna’s face as she sings her heart out about love at its climax. Totally uplifting stuff.
As I listen to the album over and over looking for faults, things don’t seem to be going too well, instead my hips are swaying and toes are tapping throughout. Enough said. This creation is pure energy fused from modern day nightlife, sex and letting go. It’s not going to appeal to the elderly, but the youth of planet earth will embrace this collection full heartedly alongside older folk who know their music from their throwaway pop. Somebody please change this frequency? I think not. Mr. James is onto a winner here.
