Amsterdam-based gospel funk Arp Frique, together with his Perpetual Singers, has created a holy new happening that's so dang good you'll be screaming a cosmic hallelujah on the dancefloor after just a few bars. The Gospel Of Jesamy features the legendary Dennis Bovell, alongside vocalists Muriel Blijd, Mariseya, Brandon Delagraentiss, and the iconic Rocq-E Harrell. Amen! - Flying Out
Whether or not you’re a believer, the Gospel stands for the good news. The Gospel Of Jesamy by Arp Frique & The Perpetual Singers is a personal good news journey ignited by the birth of a girl named Jesamy, Arp Frique’s daughter. The Amsterdam-based multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer returns with a new record full of gospel funk inspired by his offspring. The lesson is simple and universal: we are all in need of love, unconditional love.
This new album is a deep journey in 7 tracks, where ArpFrique channels his love for organic, funk-based music full of obscure synths, bubbly basslines and swirling guitars to bring a new-old hybrid which could be described as P-funk meets gospel-disco.
Legendary vocalists abound in this Gospel: Dennis Bovell channels his inner funkadelic on Look Up Johnny; diva Muriel Blijd takes a solo feature on Father Father; and longtime Arp-collaborator Mariseya joins the vocal squad throughout.
The true gospel sound wouldn’t be complete without the help of Brandon Delagraentiss, ‘son of a preacher man’ from Houston, Texas, whose American-style Amsterdam choir The Gospel Experience supply some big vocals and who himself shares lead vocal parts on most tracks together with the legendary LA-born singer Rocq-E Harrell. In her decades-spanning career Rocq-E has sung with many of the greats, doing studio vocals for artists such as StevieWonder, Patti Labelle and EarthWind & Fire. Rocq-E also toured with Diana Ross and Barry White, to name a few.
