The New Mastersounds - Plug & Play (2LP)

Found deep in the vaults of King Underground Records, the double-LP reissue of The New Mastersounds fifth studio album, Plug & Play, featuring vocalist Dionne Charles is now available on Color Red! Originally released on One Not Records in 2008, this album resonates the trademark infectious grooves and warm vintage production by guitarist and producer Eddie Roberts. Successful forays into sub-genres like psychedelic afro-funk, CTI-era jazz-funk, soul-jazz and classic soul are embedded into the current sound of The New Mastersounds. Though the band wears their musical roots on their sleeve, each track sounds unmistakably like The New Mastersounds and in Dionne Charles they have found a vocalist who can do justice to the phenomenal soulfulness of the music.
