Attia Taylor 's recent homegrown projects might launch her into Philadelphia dream-pop stardom. Evocative of Imogean Heap and St. Vincent, Taylor's music is a jumble of layered effects and repetitive chants that carry the listener in a wistful trance. These electronic ballads are recorded and produced entirely by Taylor herself. Unlike many artists who can barely manage just a music career, Taylor manages to produce music, study at Temple, and maintain a job. At the humble age of 21, she has already released three EPs and promises a full-length release in the near future. However, right now she says that [...]

Let me be up front: mainstream hip-hop isn't really my thing , but I recognize talent and hook when I hear it. I went to a listening session in Ardent Studios recently-renovated (and incredible sounding) Studio C last week and had the chance to hear this track and see this video from Memphis newcomer Russ P . Like a lot of young rappers, he's promoting himself as everything all at the same time - CEO, artist, producer, songwriter - and this kind of swagger is normally something [...]

(Out now on Concord/Stax Remasters ) "The Philosopher of Soul," Arkansas-born Taylor was an early disciple of Sam Cooke, taking over Sam's part in the renowned gospel group the Soul Stirrers before landing up at Stax-Volt in the mid-Sixties. The next-to-last of Taylor's LPs for Stax, this 1973 swank up Soul Street is, along with Big Star's three-album output and a few Rufus Thomas and Shirley Brown singles, among the label's last notable recordings before the Memphis powerhouse folded in 1975. The wiseass persona Taylor displays on "Cheaper to Keep Her" exhibits only one [...]

My Milly Beau friends are fast gaining momentum and ready for the big time. Since I last updated you, the group has had a major makeover. While shoring up the band members, they added a pianist with a smoothy smooth voice who could probably go solo himself. Count that as a plus. They also just released their newest song, "Taylor" (which has been part of their live repertoire for quite some time), which shows a sharp departure from earlier material . The group has embraced their poppy jazz side, which will certainly benefit them in the long run. [...]

The term "finding yourself" usually evokes imagery of recent well-to-do college graduates, backpacking through Europe on mommy and daddy's dime in search of some elusive sense of self-awareness. South Central Los Angeles doesn't afford its residents the same opportunities for leisurely strolls toward adulthood. Devoid of empathy from outsiders and cold with the harsh realities of poverty and blight, the young men and women of South Central find themselves growing up extremely fast. Just staying afloat is difficult enough, but life, with its periods of great joy and confidence interrupted by various crises of faith, disappointments and [...]

Last Friday, Love Machine got the opportunity to meet with Hanson ahead of the release of their latest album Shout It Out and pick their brains about what motivates young men who have already been in the business for fifteen years to keep putting out good music. On arrival, we were introduced to Isaac (gentlemanly), Taylor (suave) and Zac (charming) and immediately got stuck in. Although not before Taylor took an impromptu photo of us - "He's turning the tables!" laughs Zac. But dammit, he didn't get our good side! What we learned in [...]

Blues- and gospel-influenced soul singer hits a peak on Stax Vocalist Johnnie Taylor wore a number of musical hats, starting with roots in gospel, striking a soulful resonance with Stax, and finding his largest chart success with 1976's "Disco Lady." Taylor brought his roots with him to Stax, and his first few releases were see-saw affairs that vacillated between blues and Southern soul. His rise as a bona fide soul and R&B star began with the arrival of new staff producer Don Davis, who helmed 1968's chart-topping "Who's Making Love." Taylor and Davis continued [...]

A so-so soul album augmented by several excellent bonus tracks.

Smoove Johnnie Taylor album on Stax is a thing of beauty.
