Expansions & Visions

2020 release from Citrus Sun, who deliver their fourth album Expansions and Visions. The core of Citrus Sun is the Incognito rhythm section - Bluey, keyboard player Matt Cooper, bassist Francis Hylton, guitarist Francisco Sales and drummer Francesco Mendolia - who are joined by guest musicians and singers. A gritty reworking of the Ashford-Simpson classic California Soul features Noel McKoy, with background vocals from Jamiroquai's Valerie Etienne and Hazel Fernandes. Valerie also takes the lead on a blistering version of Lonnie Liston Smith's Expansions, described by Bluey as a pivotal song in the soundtrack of our lives. Legendary UK guitarist Jim Mullen returns on Expansions, Stay You (a Seventies-styled tribute to the late Leon Ware) and a very funky instrumental Hard Boiled.
