When two musical geniuses like Stanley Clarke and George Duke come together, magic happens. The highly anticipated sophomore album from the two legends who made their names in various fusion groups, The Clarke/Duke Project II keeps you on your feet with dance tracks, a few ballads, steamy jazz, and funky fusion. B3 “You’re Gonna Love It” is a grown folks classic with sexy smooth vocals and electrifying bass from Clarke. The track was recently sampled with seamless finesse on the single “Daydreaming” by Nxworries, a collaborative project featuring Anderson .Paak and Knxwledge. Often found in bargain bins, this album is certainly not one to be skipped and unquestionably retains its status as cheap heat… Check the recommended tracks! – Ally
