Sixth album for one-time Was (Not Was) backing singer Kathy Koskins ‘Uncovered Soul’ was produced by Kamua Kenyatta of Gregory Porter fame and includes luminaries such as Amp Fiddler and Ed Motta among this Detroit native’s musical collaborator’s. The vibe is very much sophisticated old-school soul with a modern touch reinforced by the fact that all but four tracks are covers of the likes of Bill Withers, Curtis Mayfield and The Neville Brothers. The slick jazzy soul of ‘Don’t Get Me Started’ is reminiscent of Tristan, ‘Voodoo’ is a slinky blues inflected swayer while the lush ‘A To B’ is a chilled out slowie. The funkier ‘Dreamin’ Dreamin’s Gonna Pull Me Through’ and ‘Ms Martha’ are highlights as is the lounge jazz ballad ‘Any Day Now’. On a set dominated by subtle, down tempo numbers the addition of the uptempo 7” single cut ‘Could You Be Me’ adds bright contrast.
