| Description: | THE SHOWCASE is the debut release by Chicago's latest soul man, Sean Rasul. Produced entirely by Grammy Award winning songwriter/producer, Madukwu Chinwah, who has also created hits for Erykah Badu and N'Dambi, the album is an inspiring effort that blends old and new school music elements and features wonderful Spoken Word poetry, Hip-Hop, and smooth urban grooves. Rasul takes you on a journey through the "hood" as he covers topics that deal with real life. The album opens with the inspirational Spoken Word piece, WHO I BE, followed by the Curtis Mayfield inspired, BEAUTIFUL, which Rasul sings in a high falsetto. RIDE WITH ME, arguably the best song on the album, features underground rapper, BIG SID, of Playaz Choice Entertainment. SENORITA/SENOR has an upbeat, pop music sound, with a little Hip-Hop and Latin flavor. The song features Mexican songstress, Gibeth, who has been called the best Latin female to hit the music scene since Selena. SUPERMODEL, which features Madukwu Chinwah, is a tribute to the beautiful women who grace the runways of the fashion world. The song, BYE MAMA, is a touch of the blues, as Rasul's soulful vocals, complimented by the outstanding acoustic guitar play of Chinwah is a fitting end to the album, which leaves the listener inspired and infected by the dose of realism that Sean Rasul delivers in this future classic. | |
