Released in 1970, Curtis is the debut album by American soul/funk artist, and former lead singer of the Impressions, Curtis Mayfield. Released on his own label Curtom Records and also self-produced this debut was very much a solo project building on Mayfield's personal experiences. It moved away from the pop soul sounds of the Impressions and featured much more of a funk and psychedelic inspired sound.

It was a powerful musical statement which covered many social and political concerns of the time, most famously in the single 'Move on Up' which would later be covered and sampled by many future artists including the Jam and Kanye West.

Sur le quatrième album de Khruangbin, A La Sala, le groupe fait son retour afin d’aller plus loin, et le faire selon ses propres termes. Il perpétue le mystère et le caractère sacré qui forment la clé de l’approche de Laura Lee Ochoa (basse), Donald “DJ” Johnson, Jr. (batterie) et Mark “Marko” Speer (guitare). Si Mordechai (2020), le dernier album de Khruangbin en solo, était un disque festif qui a renforcé la réputation du groupe dans le monde entier, A La Sala représente le lendemain de fête plus mesuré. C’est un disque magnifiquement aéré, réalisé avec Steve Christensen, l’ingénieur de longue date du groupe, avec un minimum d’overdubs. A La Sala réduit la portée de Khruangbin afin de l’augmenter, une stratégie créative qui regarde vers l’avenir. Une cascade de mélodies croustillantes émane de la guitare électrique à forte reverb, dansant doucement autour des triangles de basse minimalistes presque dub, tandis que la batterie sert de piste de danse inébranlable sur laquelle tout ce mouvement se déroule. Les touches sonores de Khruangbin – qu’il s’agisse de bande-sons western spaghetti, de discos d’Afrique de l’Ouest, de fantaisies G-funk ou même de sons ambient – sont des caractéristiques ancrées, ce sont leur identité. Unique et énorme, ambitieux et motivé.A LA SALA de Khruangbin
What's Going On is not only Marvin Gaye's masterpiece, it's the most important and passionate record to come out of soul music, delivered by one of its finest voices, a man finally free to speak his mind and so move from R&B sex symbol to true recording artist. With What's Going On, Gaye meditated on what had happened to the American dream of the past -- as it related to urban decay, environmental woes, military turbulence, police brutality, unemployment, and poverty. These feelings had been bubbling up between 1967 and 1970, during which he felt increasingly caged by Motown's behind-the-times hit machine and restrained from expressing himself seriously through his music.
