Originally crafted in 1985 and thoughtfully reissued by Be With Records, Straight From The Heart showcases Ian Willson’s unique ability to fuse soulful melodies with funky undertones. As a self-described “full-time poor musician,” Willson poured his heart into producing and performing nearly every instrument on the album, creating an authentic and deeply personal blend of ‘80s soul, funk, and modern jazz influences.
This release stands out for its seamless integration of sophisticated funk, synth-boogie, and spiritual jazz textures, all underscored by vibrant saxophone and keyboard solos. Perfect for fans of genre-crossing soul, Straight From The Heart captures the sound of an artist exploring new musical frontiers while staying true to the groove-driven essence of classic funk and soul.
