MARLENE JOHNSON 2008

File under: Reggae, Soul, Club



A couple of years Marlene Johnson gave the vocals for Hacienda, she is also in game on Jah Meeks tour for his debut “Touched By An Angel” as a background singer. With the EP “Runaway” in 2005 she is branding the start for her solo career. Its due to the excellent musical taste of her father that Marlene is finding her musical roots deep in Soul and Blues. Initially she simply writes lyrics, its taking a while until she dares to bring it forward. This step is proving to be a very good decision. Marlene Johnson starts collaborations with Frankfurts DeephouseLabel Stir 15 and the –also domiciled in Frankfurt - clubproject Soulpatrol of Max Schneider and Michael Rütten. Soulpatrol puts Marlenes souly voice in the introducing track on the eighth issue of the compilation “Future Sounds Of Jazz” – critics are talking about the “dancefloor of the 21th century”. Hacienda are combining electric with acoustic sounds, for a while the vocal tones are originated from Marlene-so she had a share the vocals on “This Very Moment” in a bigger part. On the following album “Skip And His Elephant” shes singing the outro, wich was thought as an exclusively candy for a Ministry Of Sound-Sampler. In the year 2004 she is appearing in a completely other context: her voice ennobles Samy Deluxes “Pures Gift 2004” on his album “Verdammtnochma”. In september of the following year Frankfurts Riddim Wize Soundssystem releases a 7”selection, produced by Tricky Cris (Serious Dropout) and Markus Darius. The contribution of Marlene and Marlon B (“We Are Warriors”) is on second place of selling charts of Soundquake-not the badest omen. On the complation “Roots Reggae Vibration Vol.1”, released by More Music also in september, she is represented with “Coming Home”. Slowly but surely its time for an own volume. Marlene Johnson is recording the “Runaway”EP wich is released in November 2005 on the label VelocitySounds Rec. in Leipzig. Beside four own Soul- and Rootsreggae tracks “Runaway” offers coproductions with Marlon B, Tricky Cris, Jah Meek, Ward 21 and House Of Riddim, in wich studio the album is recorded in a bigger part. 1600 units were sold until today. 2007 she puts out a track on the actual album of Zion Train “Live Is One”. She is playing numerous liveshows in Poland, Italy, Switzerland, Austria and Germany with House Of Riddim and with a soundsystem or as a guest-singer for Zion Train aswell. In march 2008 her first solo-album “my type osmoove” will be -produced by House Of Riddim- released by VelocitySounds Rec A lot of liveshows in clubs and on festivals will support this release.
