Cajual is back. Curtis Jones, aka Green Velvet, aka Cajmere re-starts his
highly acclaimed house imprint with a gorgeous piece of vocal house from
Walter Phillips.
Chicago native Walter Phillips began singing professionally in the early
nineties as a backup singer for acts such as Adina Howard, Kool Moe Dee,
and
the Outhere Brothers. From the success of these collaborations, Phillips
gained attention from the legendary R&B act Club Nouveau, eventually
becaming a regular member and spent most of the mid nineties recording and
touring with the group.
Phillips's most widely recognized effort was the 1997 Cajmere hit "Only 4
U"
on Cajual Records. His unmistakably smooth singing style helped propel the
single to a top ten position on the US Billboard Club charts and a crowd
favourite on dancefloors across the globe. Strangely though, Phillips
decided to keep his name off the single, fearing that the attention of a
dance hit would side track him from focusing on the other R&B projects he
had been working on.
Fortunately for Cajual, Phillips four years later, has a little different
perspective on the music scene. While he has been writing R&B influenced
material with such notable talents as Mike Dunn and California based Mo
Kutz, Phillips has now decided to plunge into the dance music scene, with a
full length LP expected to be released on Cajual later this year. The
tentatively self-titled album will combine both house and R&B, featuring
the
slick production work of Chicago house luminaries Cajmere and Mark Grant,
among others. 'Sometimes I Do' is a beautiful taster of what is to come.
