Back with yet another release on Makin’ Moves Records, staying very consistent, Arnaud D now collaborates with Nebraska born singer/songwriter Tasha Larae. Ms. LaRae has shared the stage with a wide range of artists from great jazz legends like George Benson and Al Jarreau to name a few. And well travelled as a background vocalist for various artists including Tracy Hamlin, Gina Darby, Rhonda Thomas and many others.
Arnaud yet again shows his production performance by bringing you two mixes, a very uplifting soulful mix and a deeper afro mix which both compliment Tasha’s vocal. We hope you enjoy..
