Onyejiaka&#8217;s third solo album begins as a suite of orchestral soulful compositions filled with heavenly strings and high hat cymbals. The disc takes on the feel of a film score that captures the essence of sly&#8217;s personal journey. &#8220;Water Suite&#8221; breaks into four parts. The opener &#8220;Thirst&#8221; is filled with funky brass arrangements. Peter Knudsen compliments the horns with sparkling guitar rhythms. Act two showcases a smaller ensemble but packs a punch nevertheless. &#8220;No, No, No, PT 2&#8221; is a funky remake of the Destiny&#8217;s Child hit that features soulful horn soloing from Jonathan Mones. &#8220;Monoxide&#8221; has funky hip-hop inspired basslines courtesy of MonoNeon and MacKenzie on vocals. Onyejiaka demonstrates his skills as a composer as well as an arranger. This cinematic release is a portrait of his vision that will certainly resonate with you.<br><br><a href=\"https:\/\/sly5thavenue.bandcamp.com\/album\/liberation\">https:\/\/sly5thavenue.bandcamp.com\/album\/liberation<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sylvestor Uzoma Onyejiaka, aka Sly5thAve expands on his love of orchestral compositions with &#8220;Liberation&#8221;.
