Sophisticado Recordings releases its newest offering, The L.O.V.E. Songs LP.
From the first note to the very last, The L.O.V.E. Songs is destined to be in constant rotation, featuring jazz-influenced, down tempo versions of some of Sophisticado's dance floor burners, like Vaporizer, What a Poor Boy Wants, The L.O.V.E. Song (From Chicago to New York) and Afterparty for Two, as well as the debut of Cuatro Sessions, inspired by one of Chicago's popular nightspots.
Produced by Sophisticado founder Vick Lavender, the album features the talents of vocalists Peter Jericho, R.J. Green and Darrell Louis II and Vick Lavender Ensemble musicians Chris Green, Curtis Green, Mike Levin, Mike Logan, Joe Rendone and Crain Sunkin.
The L.O.V.E. Songs. Music to feel sexy by. And, if you're lucky, music that helps you feel someone else's sexy, too.
