As keen followers of Osunlade, after such a long wait since Aquarian Moon and Re-Offering, you can see why he’s called this EP Rebirth. And it’s not just because of the time period he’s been re-grouping his energies in Greece where he’s been living for a while now (see out interview with Osunlade at HERE).

This is just a teaser for the full album release in early February for this St. Louis born musician who has worked with artists like Masters At Work, Roy Ayres and Jazzy Jeff (just to name three). And if these three tracks on the EP are anything to go by, he’s gone back to his soulful roots.

Osunlade will be in great demand for live appearances and Egg in Kings Cross has got in early and booked him up for January so the new year is already looking exciting but before then, there’s some gigs in December the U.S. including Danny Krivit’s 718 Sessions on the 6th.

Osunlade, great to have you back.
