TAWATHA *** 1987 *** Welcome To My Dream

A great side chapter to the legendary Mtume run on Epic Records -- an album that features his singer Tawatha as the leading act, but still getting full production support from James Mtume and his band! The set's a great twist on the Juicy Fruit groove -- a bit more laidback and intimate, but still with all the classy 80s soul elements that Mtume did so well -- that great sound schooled in Philly jazz, taken to more modern moments by the time of his Epic years -- perfectly put together, but never in a way that's too commercial or cliched! Titles include "Did I Dream You", "Love Goes Higher", "Welcome To My Dream", "Are You Serious", "More Than Before", "The Waiting's Over", "Thigh Ride", and "No More Tears". CD features the bonus tracks "Thigh High Mix (dub mix)", and "Are You Serious (12" mix)"
