UK based soul singer Myles Sanko “The Lovechild of Soul Music” is something very special and his new album ‘Forever Dreaming’ is quite simply stunning, with a musical quality that is rare indeed today. Consisting of eleven deep meaningful soul grooves, jazzy musical perfection and a play time of approximately 40:19 minutes, the album has a vintage feel that could easily have been recorded 40 years ago, were it not for it’s fresh contemporary twist. Ranging from the melodic Motown sounding title track “Forever Dreaming“ through to the spiritual acid jazz of “Save My Soul“ and the dancer “Shooting Star, this is a superb album packed with beautifully recorded Fender Rhodes, flute, vibraphone, percussion and all the instrumentation you’d expect from a good soul record.
Myles Sanko’s musical output in the last year alone has made him a genuine shining light in an ever-competitive and burgeoning soul music scene. Aside from guest spots with, amongst others, Ed Meme and Chris Read (‘Oh Yes I Will’ and ‘The Magic is Gone’ respectively), the release of Sanko’s debut EP in April of 2013 has catapulted his status – as I say – amongst a music scene where great artists are certainly not hard to come by, so finding a way to soar above so much else can only happen with genuine talent… which Myles Sanko has in abundance.
