Cymande's "Second Time Round" is like finding a forgotten comic book that whisks you back to the golden age of R& B; it's vibrant and packed with characters that will stick in your head long after the last note. Tracks like "Fug" and "Genevieve" reverberate with the same joy as a summer BBQ, blending contagious grooves with smooth melodies that invite you to move. Released in 1974, this record not only cemented their legendary status but also made history when they became the first British band to headline the Apollo Theater; surely a twist of fate as sweet as their rhythms. Take a step into a time when music made you feel alive, and let Cymande remind you why you fell in love with soul.
