Guest Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 The newest 7-inch release to come from Helsinki's Timmion Records is by Myron & E, a Bay Area-based soul duo who have re-considered what new soul music ought to sound like. Without being over-sung nor over-produced, their sound is loose, cool and something you'll want to hear again and again. Having already collaborated independently of one another with several hip hop groups like Blackalicious, Myron & E (aka producer E da Boss) have combined forces to create a new soul sound with tight production and honest vocals. Expertly backed by the go-to group The Soul Investigators and produced by E himself, Myron & E have set themselves up for making their 7-inch an instant collectible. Here's the first single: https://www.totempolepr.com/Cold_Game.mp3 Hear the B side of the 7-inch here: https://www.timmion.com/myron_and_e_with_th...l_investigators And buy it here: https://www.timmion.com/webshop or here: https://www.dustygroove.com/item.php?id=h2r...p%3Bincl_cs%3D1 We know Myron & E have been garnering a lot of attention lately, so if you feel like posting the single on your blog, that would be great. Let me know if you have any questions or need more information.

Bjorn Nilsson Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 No! This is exactly what what new soul music is not supposed to sound like!! This is new music trying to sound like it did in the 60's or 70's and has nothing to do with the 21'st century. The music I love has nothing to do with kids trying to copy the sound that in it's time was progressive and political. This is so far away from that! I have nothing against it but it hasn't anything to do with soul music!

I have nothing against it but it hasn't anything to do with soul music! I have to say I disagree. I think it's a great double sider of a 45 and along with Kings go Forth, these are the kinds of new releases I am glad are getting made. Yes they sound like 70's records, I'm sure this is what the band members are listening to and from that are making really great music of there own. Give me more I say!

Give me more I say! i really like kings go forth "high on your love" and I think the mayer hawthorne single is great (despite the overdubs instead of a real group). Edited February 21, 2009 by boba

I would probably dance to it if I heard it in a club and didn't know what it was but how can anobody say that this is real soul music? For me it is someting completely different from this. Real soul is music, politics, skin colour and much, much more! This is just music! Edited February 21, 2009 by B Nilsson

For me it is someting completely different from this. Real soul is music, politics, skin colour and much, much more! This is just music! 90% of the songs I play are love songs. That is the convention of the genre. Are the songs I play not "real soul music"? I 100% disagree with your beef with these tracks. You could make an argument about the quality of the songs, could make an argument that making a "retro" sound is not moving forward or relevant, etc., but to say that this is not real soul music because it isn't political is silly. The form of the music, the practice of making it, etc. is inherently "black", having political lyrics is not necessarily meaningful. A lot of the political songs of the 70s are sort of shallow and silly in hindsight while a lot of the love songs are timeless. Similar to how the most classic rap music might be about bragging, gucci clothes, or violence, and are often much better than the dated sounds of public enemy and other 'political' acts.
Sebastian Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 This is just music! That is such a bizarre thing to say. "Cold Game" is superb. But the biggest part of my record collection is probably "just" music, so who am I to say...

I have nothing against it but it hasn't anything to do with soul music! You are talkin aload of utter shite(IMHO). Sorry, but if anybody has managed to refine- a true interpritation of 60's Soul music, it is the musicians, performers and artists at Timmion. The Myron and E track is not a copy of a track. Yet it is a match for many original 60's recording. Do you Like Ian Levines Stuff? because i think what you said in your post stands true more to him, than Timmion. Yes, this is new music trying to sound like it did.......yet if you listen closely, especially to myron and E, it is in effect a true soul record, with all the honesty of a 60's Soul/RnB dance record. Not a copy, an interpritation....that is right on the money imo... Sorry if i seem rude, i don't want an argument, i just feel your reaction to the solid writing, arrangement, production and performance of these lads, of the title track especially, is ...UTTER SHITE lol's Mike
Guest posstot Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Real soul is music, politics, skin colour and much, much more! This is just music! No, completely wrong. Raggae still sounds like Raggae. Country still sounds like Country Heavy Metal still sounds like heavy metal punk still sounds like punk Yet somewhere along the Way, Disco kidnapped Soul music...Timmion are filterring out all the shit, getting back to roots and are doing it well. Getting back to music, BEFORE it was all politics, skin colour and much much more. You'd probably dance to it in a club< if i didn't know what it was? I danced to it in a club, and didn't realise it was a modern day recording. How authentic, well done them. Is actually what you meant...i think
Guest Beeks Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Well for the record I quite like it and it DOES sound authentic...though I don't like it enough to purchase, it's pleasant enough but doesn't really go anywhere and I have no idea why any of you are taking offence at it
Missgoldie Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 That is such a bizarre thing to say. "Cold Game" is superb. But the biggest part of my record collection is probably "just" music, so who am I to say... the "I can't let you get away" is a beautiful slice of soul music
Albert Petit Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Buyed now! Im sure this will be another top tune like Nicolle Willis... Cheers! Good Job!
Guest Ollie Lailey Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 I think its a pretty good record! I like what these guys are doing and more power to their elbow. As with Kings Go Forth, talented guys making good soul music, long may it continue! ollie
Guest Fabsoul69 Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 amen... I think its a pretty good record! I like what these guys are doing and more power to their elbow. As with Kings Go Forth, talented guys making good soul music, long may it continue! ollie
Kris Holmes Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 This is great, I love it. For me it's what soul music should be like.
Albert Petit Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Received mine today.. amazing !! congratulations!
