Artist:
Grace Barbé meets Charlie’s Flat
Title:
Fanm Dubs
Label:
Afrotropik Records
Released:
14th August 2020
Alongside the release of Seychelles Afro-Creole singer Grace Barbé latest album ‘Fanm:Woman’, a blend of Indian Ocean rhythms and reggae. Aussie dub outfit Charlie’s Flat have produced two spaced out dubs of the title track which are available on Bandcamp and all good digital outlets.
There’s no doubting the quality of Grace’s vocal ability, that is instantly pleasing to the ear and bursting with tribal soul. While the dub version concentrates on pushing the vocal to the forefront, with the space out dub fx and percussive rolls appropriately placed. While the percussive dub is more balanced tribal number that offers an alternative approach, that is equally as appealing.
To conclude this is good sunshine music. Appropriate for those summer bbq’s soundtracks or chilling on the beach and I’d imagine Charlie’s Flat retain enough of the vocal to hold the interest across a wider audience.
