Our Take

Lakecia Benjamin's latest offering "Phoenix" is a fiery exploration of jazz fusion that is sure to leave listeners feeling like they have been reborn from the ashes. Benjamin, known for her dynamic saxophone skills, brings a fresh energy to the table with this album, infusing elements of funk, soul, and even a hint of psychedelic rock into the mix.

The opening track "Take My Hand" sets the tone for the album, with Benjamin's smooth saxophone melodies weaving effortlessly through funky bass lines and punchy percussion. The result is a groovy, toe-tapping track that will have you reaching for the repeat button.

Throughout the album, Benjamin showcases her versatility as a musician, effortlessly transitioning from upbeat, high-energy tracks like "March On" to more introspective, soulful numbers like "Lost Souls". The Red Marble Vinyl pressing adds an extra layer of depth to the overall listening experience, with its warm, rich sound quality bringing out the nuances of Benjamin's compositions.

Overall, "Phoenix" is a triumph for Lakecia Benjamin, solidifying her status as a powerhouse in the jazz world. So grab a glass of your favourite tipple, sit back, and let yourself be transported by the spellbinding sounds of this incredible album. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
