Details:
PONTIAC, MI 2004 Two years in the making, Mikes Modern Music has released HOOK UP 'THA MIKE, an exciting and different bunch of tunes in the pop songwriter vein Mike has been in for many years, but with a few twists. Deep -groove hip hop style beats, lo-fi keyboard sounds, spacey percussion, and strangely effected vocals make HOOK UP 'THA MIKE the groups most adventerous and comtemporary release to date Mikes' critically acclaimed BURNING PERMIT (2002) and KING OF GUILTY PLEASURE (1999) stuck to a more rootsy sound, relying on jazz, pop, rock and R&B, this release swims mostly in R&B waters. And while most of the material on BURNING PERMIT related to songs of love, HOOK UP 'THA MIKE hits the beats hard on songs about living in the current state of the world Mark Clark of Michigan Rocks calls Mike "A masterful storyteller". The Detroit Metro Times commends Mikes Modern Music "for not being afraid to try out new styles And Fat Boy, proprieter of Café Tres' Magnolia in Savannah Ga. says, "HOOK UP 'THA MIC is a great drop, it's funny and has a great groove."
