The Slow Train audio adventure is classy, confident and uncompromising. Deep old school funk and jazzy breaks with world music undertones create a very special backdrop but when infused with sharp song writing skills, unforgettable vocal melodies and seamless production the album provides a more accessible sound – nu soul. Time Out London compares Slow Train to Eartha Kitt and a funkier Shirley Bassey. First single “In the Black of Night” is included as the first track on the prestigious European Hotel Costes Compilation as well as on the latest Budha Bar CD and the video is top 10 on MTVE. The duo consists of Morten Varano & Lady Z. Morten Varano, recording artist and music producer was nominated for a Danish Grammy Award in the Best Dance Album of the Year category (Puddu Varano/Time to Grow) and his ability to place magic on vinyl is outstanding. Lady Z is the electronica alter ego of London based soul jazz singer-songwriter Z Star. Lady Z wrote and performed the closing song for the Vagina Monologues Celebrity Gala (Royal Albert Hall) and has been on tour with classical violinist Nigel Kennedy’s jazz band. Lady Z’s guitar and percussion licks combined with Varano’s classically trained keyboard skills and smooth programming techniques gives the music a dynamic sound. The lyrical storyline takes the listener on a 24hr ride through nocturnal urban realities to blue skied escaping beaches where to reflect and re-energize.
