US House Music legend Teddy Douglas of Basement Boys and Jasper St. Co. fame has unveiled his first solo artist album, ‘I’m Here’, on the mighty Nervous Records. Across the 11 songs, Teddy has gone all out to deliver one of his most diverse albums to date. ‘I’m Here’ is a colourful pallet of meaningful songs and grooves that reach far beyond Teddy’s signature soulful Baltimore House sound, with added infusions of Funk, Rock and Jazz, yet still loaded with plenty of Teddy’s trademark House and Disco sounds that we all know and love.
As a solo album, there are plenty of interesting collaborations throughout. Teddy has pulled together some brilliant international vocalists in on the project including Chicago’s Hip House legend, Fast Eddie; dance music’s vocal queen, Ultra Naté; UK vocalist Pauline Taylor; Danish Folk and Blues artist, Richard Farrell; Buckshot from Blackmoon appearing as BDI Thug; and up and coming Brit Soul talent, Sipho. There are some real house stompers on here for the heads, notably ‘House Music with Fast Eddie and ‘Searching (For Your Love)’ with Ultra Naté, but plenty more besides, with a cover of Frontline Orchestra’s ‘Don’t Turn Your Back On Me’ with Pauline Taylor giving her best soulful diva performance and the downtempo rocky vibes of ‘Help!’ featuring Sipho’s emotive tones. ‘I’m Here’ is a great and unexpectedly eclectic body of work from one of Baltimore’s finest!
