Blaze - 25 Years Later

This essential album is a journey thru the life of Lakim, a black activist in the streets of New York and we follow him thru his days - getting exposed to his emotions in songs from spiritual high on "YOU`RE SO SPECIAL" - maybe the best song to the angry and bitter "YOU`RE GONNA MISS MY LOVE" after his babymama told him to leave - he get`s ripped off by a 13 year old girl he is searching for their grandma and so on - motown didn`t like the concept of putting this spoken words interludes on the album , so it`s on the CD only ..respect to Blaze, this album still stands the test of time .

The New Jersey trio's '90 debut album for Maze. Blaze's roster featured vocalist Chris Herbert, keyboardist Josh Milan, and drummer Kevin Hedge, who came together in the '80s doing a good blend of gospel-tinged soul and East Coast dance. They got some attention from the single "So Special," and also the cuts "Get Up" and "Lover Man." They never really hit it big, but did have potential...

Hello! Could I possibly trouble you to re-up this one, as I've had songs from this album in my head recently, but I haven't owned the album in years! I feel some admitted guilt in asking, as I've here and there turned to your blog for your incredible selections, but have rarely left comments or words of gratitude...
