Review:
Going back to his soulful, disco roots Joey Negro dives into his Doug Willis alias for these beauties, out on Z Records. "Music Speaks Louder Than Words" is a Philly/Salsoul bomb, complete with a huge chorus that could charm even the most gloomy and dour music fan. "Doug Be Good To Me" is another gem, this time channelling boogie basslines of D-Train or The Gap Band, while the new "Dougyoulator" mix of "Activated" fuses Italo sounds with a deepish, dubby vibe for yet another curveball from the multi-monikered master, and that's even before he channels the Bee Gee's and Yellow Magic Orchestra in one blinding stroke! With some producer friendly acapellas also included on the release, this is pure must-have stuff.
