Madam Palindrome
Bio:
A self-proclaimed "people watcher, dreamer and lover ofphilosophy", Debórah Bond (pronounced De-BOR-rah) credits Anita Baker, Chaka Khan, and Sade as the roots which shaped her sound. Her unique and "eclectic mix of R&B, funk and British soul" receives accolades from fans and critics worldwide. The debut album "DayAfter", and the remix album "AfterDay", established Deborah Bond's reputation as both a deeply sensitive, spiritual, sincere artist and a funky diva with captivating stage presence. (Check out the video for the single"See You In My Dreams", currently on heavy rotation on VH1 Soul) Propelled by an ever growing cult following Debórah Bond has shared the stage with many of the hottest acts in soul music including: Rahsaan Patterson, Eric Roberson, Yahzarah, Sy Smith, Gordon Chambers, Floetry, Kem, Kindred the Family Soul, Raheem DeVaughn, Mint Condition, Angela Johnson, Julie Dexter, Goapele, Wayna, Ann Nesby, Elisabeth Withers, Ronny Jordan, Ledisi, Frank McComb and Fertile Ground. Deborah and her band/production team Third Logic are proud to announce the release of Madam Palindrome (7/17). This album is a confident and bold artistic & creative statement. Reflections on perspectives and palindromes not only influenced lyrics and song content but informed artist Shuhei Matsuyama's creative process for the design of the truly stunning album's artwork. Amongst many tasteful gems in Madam Palindrome, we are especially looking forward to a duet with UK underground legend Lewis Taylor. Debórah Bond & Third Logic have had a long break from the music scene to build on the craft of production, musicianship, and songwriting. With time for growth and reflection the concept for Madam Palindrome emerged: a well-rounded intellectual, visual, philosophical, and musical experience featuring songs ranging from disco/funk to psychedelic to acoustic soul to straight up R&B... The new single from Madam Palindrome "You Are the One" is now available on itunes and cdbaby.com. Stay tuned for an cosmically exciting new video as well! Debórah and her band take pride in creating music that has no boundaries, that goes beyond age, race, or creed. Description
Deborah Bond will be remembered by new soul fans for her excellent debut ‘Day After’ from 2003.Its been a long wait but ‘madam Palindrome’ is another strong album from Deborah, with great production.The mid tempo groovers ‘Nothing Matters’, ‘Highest Mountain’ and ‘Say It’ set the tone and ‘think Twice’ and ‘Never Was’ are good slower tracks. The groove ridden ‘Blind Paradise’, the semi funk dancer ‘You Are The One’ and the uptempo Ft Lewis Taylor‘If I Didn’t need You’ are also good tracks. The killer dancer ‘5:35’ is one of the best soulful dancers for a long time. One of the best if not the album of the year 2013.
