Album Description Import edition features two bonus tracks, 'Your Love is Mine' (featuring Corrine Bailey Rae) (Fred Everything Remix) and 'The Minx'. 'As funky as it is rare and as honed as it is raw. 'Be Yourself' could be filed under Brand New Heavies, Corduroy and various early 90s Acid Jazzadelica without even slightly sticking out like a sore, throbbing thumb. The thing is, NMS do it for the love of it. Sleazily easing in with the simple funk of 'This Ain't Work', the almost angelic sounds of Corrine Bailey Rae take 'Your Love Is Mine' up and on to whole new levels of thought.' - DJ Magazine. One Note Records. 2007. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsHot stuff! The Delite Rancher | Phoenix, Arizona | 07/10/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) "The New Mastersounds explode with energy on "Be Yourself." On one hand, the band's sound is like organic acid jazz, but on the other hand it has an aged and vintage feel. The end result is music that sounds both fresh and time-tested. Their funky and danceable sound seems to draw on the likes of the Meters, Howard Roberts and Jimmy McGriff. The disc sparkles in terms of the arrangements and the solos by individual musicians. While Eddie Roberts' guitar work is hot, Bob Birch's keyboards are the real engine behind the group. The only dark cloud over "Be Yourself" is the vocals by Corinne Bailey Rae and LSK. While these two tracks distinguish the disc from the other funky jazz that's out there, it's not for the better. All in all, this quartet proves that the UK has some serious jazz musicians who are well schooled in improvisation. Although not as good as 2005's "This Is What We Do," "Be Yourself" establishes that the New Mastersounds not only know how to put on a good live show but shine in the studio."
