An exciting, R&B-infused jazz album from Grammy®-winner David Murray, featuring standout vocals from platinum-selling Grammy® winner Macy Gray and two-time Grammy® nominee Gregory Porter.
With power-packed vocals from Macy Gray and Gregory Porter, this is hands down David Murray s most soulfully creative and popularly accessible recording to date. Grammy®-winning, multi-platinum-selling Macy Gray s sultry delivery of the title track, Be My Monster Love, has crossover appeal into R&B territory. Videos for this sexy song (which capitalizes on the perennially popular vampire theme) have potential for viral marketing. The inclusion of three crossover radio-friendly songs by rising vocal star Gregory Porter (Grammy®-nominee for Motéma albums Be Good and Water) adds mightily to this album s potential at radio and retail.
