Review: The mighty Opolopo gets his mitts on 'Purple Funk', a classic cut from Paris Toon's Mothers Favourite Child project that first surfaced in 2017. The version remixed by Opolopo is a freshly updated version, with Saeada Wright replacing original singer CeCe Peniston in the vocal booth. Opolopo's EP-opening main remix is a genuinely sun-soaked summer delight, where Wright's soulful lead vocal, mazy Fender Rhodes riffs, crisp guitar licks and spacey synth doodles ride a squelchy P-funk bassline and swinging, loose-limbed drums. It comes accompanied by a full-length instrumental take, in which you can bathe your ears in Opolopo's detailed musical arrangement, and a useful radio edit.
