Orgone - Reasons (2019)

Orgone is one of the most exciting bands in the new generation of funk bands; led by the powerhouse vocals of Adryon de León, Orgone recalls such legendary groups as Rufus and Sly & The Family Stone at their best. Their new album Reasons illuminates a band hitting it's stride, capturing the raw power and refined sensibilities that defines Orgone. From the a cappella opening of All Good Things" to the dance floor filler Easy Love," Reasons packs a punch. Vocal harmonies channeling late 70s Fleetwood Mac to synth lines evoking Bernie Worrell's involvement in the Talking Heads, Reasons brings in a new set of influences on Orgone's 10th studio album while maintaining their classic analog sound. de León is front and center on Reasons, and she does not disappoint evoking the deep soulfulness of Chaka Khan and the bedroom sweetness of Minnie Ripperton. Her versatile vocal performance firmly places her in the top echelon of soul singers today. Reasons is another solid step in a long and storied career. Orgone's accolades are too long to list in entirety. The well-traveled band has released albums on Ubiquity, Shanachie, and Colemine Records and served as the studio band on hits like Alicia Key's Teenage Love Affair" and Cee Lo Green's Grammy-winning Fool For You."
