about

Mr President aka Patchworks is definitely a name to remember if you’re interested in today’s vintage soul and funk scene. Following the trail of success left by his projects Uptown Funk Empire, The Dynamics or Metropolitan Jazz Affair, Patchworks proved his musical ubiquity album after album and unexpectedly stroke in various genres.

Teaming up again with label Favorite Recordings (Onra, Buddy Sativa, Funk League, Big Single,…), the album has remained loyal to a vintage production style, while featuring hip-hop, house, breakbeat and afrobeat influences - a vintage sound with a contemporary approach to music.

Various directions and influences can also be found in the album; however they can clearly be summed up in one global vision sounding almost like a paradox: Old school vintage soul music of today! Following the club and radio success of hits like Love and Happiness or Meet Again, this record is a treasure of gems that collectors will love, as will soul and other music lovers of all horizons. The very catchy ‘The Best Is Yet To Come’ is ready to become one of the hippest soul music hits of 2011!!
