GREENFLOW – Solutions
[2021 Reissue]
LP – Vinyl
(Includes download code)
A private-press gem from 1977 finally reissued on vinyl. Lush AOR soul tangles with streetwise funk and sensual R&B on Solutions, the only album by multiracial Calfornian group Greenflow, who toured the world playing their unique brand of soul-jazz-funk for United Services Organizations. A mysterious collector classic.
Solutions is a mercurial album, one of rare charm and spirit. Some might already know one of the album’s key cuts, the deep, sensual “I Gotcha”, with its winding ‘doo doo doo’ melodies, from its inclusion on Numero Group’s WTNG 89.9FM: Solid Bronze compilation; lush and lithe, it’s a dream spirit of a song. “No Other Life Without You” is a sweet swoon, a slow burning boy-girl duet; “Sugar Daddy” is a funked-up streetwise prowl; “Every Single Time I Dream” is a lover’s vision, with a sly, snakecharming flute writhing through the verses before the song opens out with gentle droplets of tinkling Rhodes.
