ABOUT THIS ITEM

Two years in the making, with tunes recorded in four different countries, "Can’t Help" It aims to be a modern prototype for further directions in future R&B and soul music. The brain-child of Los Angeles-born globetrotter Brian Gibbs. Born in 1978 to a Motown-addicted single mother, Gibbs absorbed the music of Marvin Gaye, Ray Charles and Sam Cooke before he could even walk. Growing up in California led to a deep rooted and abiding love for disco, P-Funk and ultimately hip hop. Later Gibbs would move to Tokyo, turn to techno influences. June 2012 brings Echo Park’s "Cant Help It", which seives all these influences into the musical mixing bowl to create a cohesive whole. Brian himself describes the current Echo Park direction as ‘freaky bass-driven hip hop and soul music with a touch of ‘Nintendo noir’. I'd call it boogie-soul with a hint of electro-funk.
