SLY LIVES! (Aka The Burden Of Black Genius) - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

    'SLY LIVES! (aka The Burden of Black Genius)' examines the life and legacy of Sly & The Family Stone, the groundbreaking band led by the charismatic and enigmatic Sly Stone.

      Songs For Sex

        WRWTFWW Records announce its fourth collaboration with New York ambient / jazz / downtempo musician Danny Scott Lane with the release of his newest full-length "Songs For Sex". The seductive 11-track album is available as a limited edition LP (500 copies worldwide) housed in a shiny 350gsm silver cardboard sleeve. It is also available digitally.

        Danny Scott Lane returns with "Songs For Sex", a sultry funk, jazz, and ambient exploration inspired by candid conversations about intimacy. Smooth yet messy, uplifting yet off-kilter, this album captures every mood. It’s sensual furniture (leather sofa) music, deep passion minimalism, hedonistic downtempo, glossy and warm soul electronica.

        The velvety sonic affair features the lush sounds of Joseph Shabson, David Lackner, and Simon Herody on flutes and saxophones, making it an irresistible modern brand of smooth jazz, the ideal soundtrack for your favorite pastime.

        "Songs For Sex" follows the release of Danny Scott Lane’s chillout masterpieces "Home Decor", "Shower", and "Caput", all available on WRWTFWW Records. 

        For fans of smooth ambient jazz, cool jazz, downtempo, flutes and saxophones, sensual seduction, intimacy, good times, cozy nights and easy mornings, wild nights and easy mornings, leather sofas, and feeling alive.
