Adam F - Colours Revisited

‘Colours Revisited’, a revision of Adam F’s MOBO Award-winning 1997 debut album is a story of musical rebirth and passion. Adam F, realising that ‘Colours’ had found a new audience—partly thanks to arbsts like PinkPanther-ess—decided to recreate the album. Instead of simply remastering the tracks, Adam went all in. Over two years, he mebculously reworked the original music, from restoring vintage instruments like his Fender Rhodes piano to enlisbng UK jazz legends like Julian Joseph. Vocalists including Kirsty Hawkshaw and the late MC Conrad re-recorded their parts, while new solos from world-class musicians added fresh life to the tracks. “Colours holds a special place in my heart because it was not only my first solo album, but also because I had the opportunity to collaborate with diverse talents,” says the seminal producer on his ground-breaking album. “Musi-cians of a calibre such as Dave Ital (Guitars), The Jazz Great Julian Joseph (Keyboards and Fender Rhodes), MC Conrad (MC/Arbst), Roni Jordan (Jazz a guitarist who had a hit with Miles Davis’ “So What”), Tim Philbert/Tim the Bass (Bass), Greg Leicester (Bass), Maurice Capillaire/MC MC (Live MC)...” Adam conbnues “We were honoured to be nominated for MOBO “Best album of the year” alongside renowned acts of that bme, including Hinda Hicks, Des’ree, Lighthouse Family, and Massive AUack. In fact, I was so convinced that we wouldn't win that I didn't prepare a speech, and that definitely showed in my genuine surprise. Colours also went on to be a top 20 UK Nabonal Chart hit which lead to Metropolis winning Tune of the Year at the Underground Awards. Music In My Mind from the same album was inspired from Herbie Hancock ‘Rocket’ and ‘I Thought It Was You’. “Fast forward to 2020, I never thought of ever revisibng ‘Colours’. But it seems that bme has come round full circle, the interest is there.” The revisited album dewly weaves together the energy of new live instrumentabon with the 80’s Bribsh electronica and jazz fusion inspired sounds of the original. The result is a project which not only brings the album into the glistening present but somehow manages to add further depth and sense of understanding of the original ‘Colours’, the influences latent within it and how and why it has gone on to influence so many others since it’s incepbon throughout the world. This is a must have album which pays homage to what has become a cornerstone of Bribsh electronic music history.
