'Culture Today' from Edy Forey

The exciting and innovative new album from Edinburgh duo Edy Forey brings Edy Szewy (voice) and Guilhem Forey (keyboards) reimagine some classic tracks and originals with a contemporary edge. Listen to the whole album for a tingling, infectious musical boost that can only inspire.





Culture Today allows Edy Forey to collaborate with a whole host of musical pioneers, including Femi Koleoso (Ezra Collective), Michael League and Bob Reynolds (GRAMMY winners with Snarky Puppy) Sharay Reed (Cory Henry & The Funk Apostles, Aretha Franklin, Rachelle Ferrell, Chaka Khan)Alex Hahn(GRAMMY winning saxophonist) Sarpay Ozcagatay (GRAMMY nominated flutist) and percussion from Brazilians Isac Jamba and Carlinhos Percussao.

This is an exciting album that has definitely made it to my list of best albums of 2024 and I'm looking forward to hearing Edy Forey live at some point. The single version of Nature Boy is a modern electronic take on a track that demonstrates a little of what you can hear in more detail across the whole collection of tracks.

The album is mixed and mastered by the GRAMMY award winning producer Bob Power, the engineer behind D’Angelo, Erykah Badu and A Tribe Called Quest, who remarks: “In my 35+ years in the upper echelons of the professional music business, I have seldom met a duo with more talent and drive. They combine a unique and compelling blend of pop music sensibility with a deep foundation of advanced musicianship.”
