Music stars Nelly Furtado, Tricky, Perry Farrell, Ice Cube and Grant Lee Phillips, are just some of the acts to lend their vocal talents to DJ Paul Oakenfold’s new album 'Bunkka'.
The 11-track set, due July 1,2002 on Perfecto/FMR under the name Oakenfold, is the artist’s first solo album after years of highly successful mix compilations and represents a full exploration of his personal musical heritage. “I grew up on pop music, I love guitar bands and I was very influenced and involved in hip-hop during the early days, so I wanted to build from those roots upwards rather than doing a contemporary dance record,” he says.
To help realise his ambition, Oakenfold enlisted Jane’s Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell, Shifty Shellshock of Los Angeles rock-rap band Crazy Town, Tricky, Nelly Furtado, Ice Cube, Asher D of So Solid Crew, Grant Lee Phillips and Hunter S. Thompson. Bunkka also provides a platform for three rising young vocalists: Tiff Lacey, Emiliana Torrini and Sydney singer Carla Werner, who performs the album’s first single ‘Southern Sun’ which impacts at Australian radio next week.
The full tracklisting is:
01. Ready Steady Go - Featuring Asher D
02. Southern Sun - Featuring Carla Werner
03. Time Of Your Life - Featuring Perry Farrell
04. Hypnotized - Featuring Tiff Lacey
05. Zoo York
06. Nixon’s Spirit - Featuring Hunter S. Thompson
07. Hold Your Hand - Featuring Emiliana Torrini
08. Starry Eyed Surprise - Featuring Shifty Shellshock
09. Get Em Up - Featuring Ice Cube
010. Motion - Featuring Grant Lee Phillips
11. The Harder They Come - Featuring Nelly Furtado & Tricky Post a comment
