Game changer, fashion icon, maverick, dancer, writer, producer (I could go on) the rather bespoke Barrie K Sharpe makes a delightful return to the fray with this his sterling new platter emphatically entitled Rhythm Rhyme Revolution and the title track happens to be the opener setting a fine scene mixing a spiritual jazz vibe with some sharp afro beat inflections, fresh sounding and totally infectious. Sharpeye set the scene for an enthralling journey of beats basslines and dubby horns that brings new things to the table in terms of what's possible within what I would call classy dance music, leaving space for the glossy grooves to shine adorned with bite size anthemic vocal hooks. It's a winning formula, co creator Gareth Tasker has waved his magic wand over this too, believe me these two are a deadly force and it goes to prove the old adage that there is no accounting for experience and these guys have it in spades. Referencing Curtis, Marvin and others in a subtle yet enticing mixing bowl of goodness that just flows out effortlessly. Timeless stuff that will sound good way down the line (as does Masterplan). There are definitely no fillers on this album. Words Emrys Baird

Game changer, fashion icon, maverick, dancer, writer, producer (I could go on) the rather bespoke Barrie K Sharpe makes a delightful return to the fray with this his sterling new platter emphatically entitled Rhythm Rhyme Revolution and the title track happens to be the opener setting a fine scene mixing a spiritual jazz vibe with some sharp afro beat inflexions, fresh sounding and totally infectious. Sharpeye set the scene for an enthralling journey of beats, basslines and dubby horns that brings new things to the table in terms of what's possible within what I would call classy dance music, leaving space for the glossy grooves to shine adorned with bite-size anthemic vocal hooks. It's a winning formula, co-creator Gareth Tasker has waved his magic wand over this too, believe me, these two are a deadly force and it goes to prove the old adage that there is no accounting for experience and these guys have it in spades. Referencing Curtis, Marvin and others in a subtle yet enticing mixing bowl of goodness that just flows out effortlessly. Timeless stuff, that will sound good way down the line (as does Masterplan).

There are definitely no fillers on this album. 'Stand Up' with its one chord pumping groove stands up to a moody little gem that's in a major key! 'WhatchYaBack' harks back to a blaxploitation vibe - muted Miles period (props to Kenny Wellington) and the soulful strut of 'Summertime' possibly my fav on this incredibly cohesive album should put a smile on your face and 'Joyous' carries on the radiant positivity this duo emanates oh and the Bootsy bass definitely cuts the mustard! Suffice to say their plenty of great tunes left in the tank and the mini sermonising soothsayer that our Barrie is all-encompassing clearly showing a man who's content with himself, this could just bring him back into the main event.

Not content with just bringing out music he's also brought out a book too called 'This Was Not Part Of The Masterplan, a fascinating look back at how his incredibly varied life all started. This man is a product of the time and despite his disadvantaged start he seized his moment learning on the hoof and made an incredible impact on music and fashion in his own words he basically 'fell uphill'. An era that is long gone an innocence in a much simpler world expertly captured, this should be on the school curriculum and then put in a time capsule and buried under the Royal Albert Hall.

Good to see the man has lost none of his potency, you can't buy style but you can buy this so check this all out at www.sharpeye.london it's stirring stuff and nothing frankly can quite contain him!
