Bold Parade - Heat (EP)
Following his stunning Bold Parade debut with ‘Flowers In The Dirt EP’ in the spring, acclaimed producer and multi-instrumentalist, Paul McMahon (Crashdaddy / Bellcrash), is back with an enchanting selection of mellow and jazzy grooves on his new release, ‘Heat’. The title track features London’s Janessa J, who delivers a candy-sweet vocal over a bubbly NuSoul groove, and also comes with a funky Trip Hop style remix from up-and-coming Belfast talent, Brién. ‘Sacrament’ is a jazzy laid-back affair with vocals from London’s Rose White that charismatically flow over soothing soundtrack garnished with uplifting brass. Bringing a Latin flavour to the EP is Brazil’s Bianca Amente, whose enchanting voice pirouettes around a sun-drenched percussive soundtrack made up of lush guitars, keys and brass performances on ‘Mar De Afeto’.
Bold Parade is the latest project from London based, Belfast born producer Paul McMahon. Paul has been making music for over 20 years under the name Crashdaddy.
