Tarika Blues eternally sweated self-titled LP pressed on limited edition blue vinyl! Tarika Blue has become a serious collectors piece thanks to all the soulful vocals, gorgeously arranged instrumentation and ill synthesizer parts permeating the record. You’ll recognize”Dreamflower”as the source for the legendary loop on Erykah Badus Didnt Cha Know produced by J Dilla.”Jimi” is a psychedelic ode to Hendrix with shredding guitar solo madness but still funky enough. Soulful stepper “Truth Is The Key” isa personal fave butthe pedigree is strong throughout. Lets face it, youre never gonnafind the original LP – do yourself a favor and get with this. Highly recommended!
