DOWNLOAD THE DIPLO REMIX OF "CALIFORNIA SOUL" (MARLENA SHAW)
Marlena Shaw was the first female vocalist signed to Blue Note Records -- her knack for blending jazz, soul and pop nuggets led to her mastery of covers, including this rippling version of the Ashford & Simpson-penned “California Soul.” Shaw’s version of the track was rediscovered by DJs on the recent Cadet/Verve reissue and who better than nomadic DJ Diplo to sonically fray the edges even more? Diplo's joyous breakdowns and zig-zag horn and keyboard sections make for feisty groovework while Marlena bridges styles on the 1968 album that introduced the original gem, The Spice Of Life.
