International Artist of the Year Nominee producer/keyboardist Oli Silk steps back into the fray and elevates the bar with ' All We Need' marking his third and most auspicious musical offerings to date. The old adage 'third time's a charm' comes to mind as Silk ramps up the fun and the funk with this infectious assemblage of sparkling originals that truly showcase his burgeoning talent. Silk lays the grooves fat and funky on tracks like 'LA to London (The Return Journey)' sets a strong hook on 'Get Out Claws' a piece that boasts the classic Bob James Rhodes sound and sure to be a hit. 'Latin Haze' smokes up guitar licks supplied by Marc Anotine, the track 'Tokyo' brings trumpeter and label mate, Cindy Bradley out front and center for a fun and infectious romp and rounding out the set Shannon Pearson wraps her silky smooth voice around the R&B gem 'Didn't Know About Love,' which could very well find a home at Urban AC. Pure pleasure from across the pond!!
