Bobby Womack – The Bravest Man In The Universe

Jun 20, 2012, 5:30am Muso's Guide

Bobby Womack - The Bravest Man In The Universe By Olly Douglas Here, the last living soul legend has set the bar once more with his first new material in over 18 years, but not in the way you’d expect. It seems The Bravest Man In The Universe is symbolic of a wound that is slowly healing; Bobby Womack’s broken voice acting as the coagulant between his often blurry and traumatic past, and his openness to exploring new musical avenues.

Produced by XL founder Richard Russell and Damon Albarn, who helped fuel Bobby's current "comeback" by hiring him on [...]

#185 – The Bravest Man In The Universe

May 25, 2012, 1:20pm Safety, Fun & Learning

Bobby Womack is back! And his new song, 'The Bravest Man In The Universe', is a class bit of work. His voice sounds as rich and as emotive as ever, while the production (from Damon Albarn and XL head-honcho Richard Russell) adds a depth and groove that gives a great modern spin on the Bobby Womack of old. It's funky, edgy and, above all, really, really good. After hearing this new track I indulged myself and had a Womack-sesh at work today, listening to The Poet (I & II) in their entirety. With the [...]

Bobby Womack 's new album, The Bravest Man In The Universe , is going to be very special indeed. Co-produced by [ do action="main-artist"]Damon Albarn[/do] and Richard Russell , the record will be his 26th - and the first since the artist was diagnosed with cancer. This Albarn and Russell re-edit of the eponymous single is one of the most beautiful things I've heard all year, with Womack's remarkable voice sitting atop a delicate, d'n'b-aping drum loop.

Bobby Womack – “The Bravest Man In The Universe”

May 1, 2012, 9:34am Potholes In My Blog

Trust us, this summer is going to be explosive for new music. One of the most anticipated records, at least in my book, is Bobby Womack 's The Bravest Man In The Universe . After seeing what XL Recordings did with Gil Scott-Heron last year, there is no doubt that their team can cook up something stellar for this living legend. Produced entirely by Damon Albarn and Richard Russell, we now get our hands on the title track. Molding a classic voice with such contemporary sounds is unsettling at first, but ends up being a [...]

mp3: Bobby Womack – ‘Please Forgive My Heart’

Mar 8, 2012, 5:32pm Informal Flick-Thru

An attempt to illustrate just how occupied Damon Albarn is, if somewhat indirectly: Although an industry prominent figure since the 1970s, the impassioned soul singer Bobby Womack was experiencing a career drought until Gorillaz resurrected his career by offering him a slot as the most frenzied vocal interlude of recent times. This is no hyperbole, since after singing the take you hear in the final version of 'Stylo' , Bobby passed out. 'Nuff said. In a similarly forward-thinking fashion to his innovative production work with [...]
