Take Timeby Aquadeep, Veesoul & MAQman
Immerse yourself in the captivating soundscape of “Take Time,” the collaborative tour de force by Aquadeep and Veesoul, marking their sophomore album on Selville Records, alongside the soulful wizard MAQman. This album, born out of a serendipitous exchange of ideas, represents a harmonious fusion of talent, creativity, and passion for soulful house music.
The album’s genesis lies in a serendipitous exchange of ideas, as Aquadeep and Veesoul, driven by a shared vision for their sophomore project, decided to reach out to MAQman, a legend in the global soulful house scene.
“The album wasn’t a planned collaboration, we just had a few ideas for our new album. We decided to send the ideas to MAQman.”
Reflecting on this fortuitous collaboration, Aquadeep shares,
“Working with MAQman was an incredible opportunity to elevate our sound and take our music to new heights.”
Veesoul echoes this sentiment, adding,
From the moment the first track, “Priceless,” envelops your senses with its infectious groove and soulful vocals by Krystal Hardwick, you’re transported into a world of musical ecstasy. Each track on the album is a meticulously crafted masterpiece, showcasing the unique talents of its creators and their unparalleled ability to weave together intricate melodies and pulsating rhythms.
“Preacher Man” demands our attention with its poignant exploration of sensitive and pressing societal issues. Joseph Junior‘s impassioned vocals cut through the music like a knife, laying bare the harsh realities of exploitation and abuse within religious institutions. “You should be praying for our sons and daughters, but you’re preying on our sons and daughters,” he belts out, shining a light on the dark underbelly of organized religion, where greed and corruption too often overshadow the message of love and compassion.
As the album unfolds, tracks like “Show Me” featuring their longtime collaborator, Poetic Leestar, and RoneeDeep, offer a poignant conclusion to the journey. RoneeDeep’s soulful keys add depth and richness to the track, complementing Poetic Leestar’s evocative poetry and the masterful production of MAQman. Together, they create a mesmerizing sonic tapestry that invites listeners on a journey of self-discovery and reflection. It’s a fitting finale to an album that has pushed the boundaries of soulful house music, leaving listeners with a sense of introspection and wonder.
“Take Time” is a testament to the power of collaboration and the endless possibilities that arise when artists come together in pursuit of a shared vision. With its intoxicating blend of local influences and global flair, this album is a reminder that music knows no boundaries and has the power to unite us all in a shared celebration of creativity and expression.
