SoulMusic Records in association with Platinum Garage Records is proud to announce the worldwide release of “The Sunshine Album” by multi-talented saxophonist/musician Jermaine Lockhart. Executive produced by the iconic George Benson, Preston Glass & David Nathan, this exciting project includes a rousing cover of Steve Winwood’s “Roll With It” (featuring Ellis Hall and Rob Mullins) and Jermaine’s 2020 digital singles, “Back To The Sunshine” (a UK soul chart Top 10) and “Perfect Timing” among other musical standouts… Available on all digital platforms, distributed by Warner X
Gifted saxophonist, Jermaine Lockhart, debuts his artistic, authentic, true character, and creative self in this new project, which boasts cameo spots by esteemed musical talents, Ray Parker Jr.., Ellis Hall (of Tower Of Power fame) and Rob Mullins. The vibe of the music is lively and broad-reaching and cleverly uses “sunshine” as its catalyst… something the world could use a lot more of especially during these uncertain times.
The album has well-chosen, thematic “sunshine” cover songs including Donovan’s “Sunshine Superman,” Bill Withers’ “Ain’t No Sunshine” and The Clark Sisters’ “You Brought The Sunshine” along with original compositions such as “Emotion Explosion”, “Have It Anyway You Want It” and “Elizabeth,” all in all a glowing collection of songs, with interludes sprinkled in-between.
To quote George Benson, “Jermaine Lockhart is an artist that comes along only once in a while. When you hear him play, it’s something very striking – so that the next time you hear him, you’ll KNOW there is something very familiar about his sound.”
