Incidentally check out the work Osunlade has done of late with 'neo-soul' singer Vivian Green. The song Emotional Rollercoaster is picking up play on urban radio Stateside. Green used to sing back-up for Jill Scott. I think Osunlade has two songs on the album. It gets a bad wrap from AMG and Amazon, but I like the vibe, though I guess she could develop more as a songwriter. The only pity about Emotional Rollercoaster on vinyl is that it comes with a dance/club mix by Junior Vasquez. Osunlade remixed a Ms Dynamite song lately too, Ms Dynamitee, I think, in deep house style, and it's hot. While I am at it, has anyone else heard of an R&B singer Lathun from Detroit? He did an album on Motown last year, and I remember years ago him doing some Miami bass for Jermaine Dupri on So So Def. He has a song Didn't I? on his album which I love.
