Bold Parade, the moniker of producer Paul McMahon, has been releasing quality tracks for decades under the alias Crashdaddy and also Bellcrash with Mark Bell. As Bold Parade, Paul has built a worldwide crew of fans, thanks to his dope blends of Soul, Funk, Latin, and Jazz vibes, garnished with impactful songwriting and stunning vocals. After a superb run of EP’s ‘Flowers In The Dirt’ EP, ‘Heat’ EP, ‘Core’ EP and his full album, ‘Two Leaves Falling’ last year, he’s back with a fresh 5-track EP titled ‘Never Give Up, Never Give In’. True to form, Paul’s not skimping on the talent, bringing in his go-to vocalists, Yanmife Ajolore and Marti Buchanan, plus the rising star Imole Ayo, each adding their own unique twist to Paul’s lush soundscapes.
Kicking things off is the title track, ‘Never Give Up, Never Give In’, featuring a smooth piano groove, a funky bassline, and an uplifting vibe delivered by Yanmife. Next up is ‘Rise Up’, which brings that organic afro-boogie flavour, complete with infectious brass hooks and an energizing vocal performance from Imole. The good vibes keep rolling with ‘Uplift’, a retro jazz jam that fuses trumpets, flutes, organ, and piano melodies with beats that make you wanna move. Marti’s sultry vocals on ‘Uplift’ create a chill dance floor atmosphere. Wrapping it all up is a vibrant Latin twist on the title track by Members Of The Lifestyle, showcasing rich melodies and lush percussion, delivering yet another classy release that’s sure to keep the soulful jazz lovers vibing for a long time.
