Search - Sage Ali :: Not From Around Here

"Not From Around Here," Sage Ali's epic debut CD is more than an album - it is an experience. Hip-hop rhythms meet soulful vocals, funky guitars, basses and horns to create one of the most unique and inspiring R&B/Pop albums in years. Comparisons have already been made with classic works by Marvin Gaye, Earth, Wind & Fire, Stevie Wonder and Sting - even Bob Marley! In fact, the players include EW&F originals Johnny Graham (guitar) and the Phenix Horns, as well as legendary saxophonist Ernie Watts. In spite of all the comparisons, however, "Not From Around Here" has a sound and feel that is all its own - even the packaging, with its 20-page full color booklet, reflects a level of artistry seldom seen in recent years. Well-crafted pop songs, exotic interludes, intricate arrangements and stellar production ensure that this album is destined to become a classic!
