Produktbeschreibung:
 
‘Summer Of Sorcery’, the follow up to the critically acclaimed ‘Soulfire’ is SVZ’s first album of original material in 20 years. It was written during the second half of the ‘Soulfire’ Tour and recorded at Stevie’s Renegade Studio September-November 2018. All 12 songs are original SVZ compositions, 1 recut from his Revolution Album, 1 outtake from the Lilyhammer Score, and 10 new songs. The album was recorded with the same members of The Disciples Of Soul that have been touring this past year. The album is a breakthrough artistically for Stevie in several ways, “My first five albums in the 80s were both very personal, and very political. I wanted the new material to be more fictionalized. The way records were when I grew up. Before it was an Artform. The concept (loosely) was capturing and communicating that first rush of Summer. The electricity of that feeling of unlimited possibilities. Of falling in love with the world for the first time. Obviously, there are occasional personal references, and a bit of what’s going on socially scattered throughout, but I achieved what I set out to do. I created a collection of fictional audio movie scenes that feel like Summer. I’m quite proud of it."
  COMMUNION
Somebody open up the door
Well yeah I'm back to rock some more
If you're a little on the shy side
Don't worry girl I've got the cure

Everybody say
Harmony unity communion

Baby baby put the camera down
Shut off the phone if you know how
The only way to take you higher
Is let the music get inside you

Well everybody say
Harmony unity communion

Come on, come on, come on
Harmony unity communion
Somebody take it to the bridge now

Baby baby when you're low
I got a place that we can go
Even let go of what you're grippin'
Oh I'm sorry baby but you must be trippin'
 
  PARTY MAMBO!
Party Mambo
Party Mambo
Party Mambo

I can see through your defenses
Primal screaming, let it bleed
They are banned on Puerto Rico
In the tower of greatest need, ayy
Nowhere to run now

(Pray to Ogun) Nowhere to hide
(Pray to Esu) The deeper the suffering
(Pray to Aje) The higher we rise
Purificiation

(Pray to Oshun) Baptising fire
(Pray to Mawu) Purging the demons
Party Mambo

Party Mambo
Party Mambo (we dance in the darkness)
Party Mambo (we dance in the firelight)
Party Mambo (we dance with the spirits)
Party Mambo (we dance for life)

River and the seas, ah you can taste it
Cleanse forever, of bad blood
We bring joy for one night only
Dance of death when we make violent love
Nowhere to run now

(Nana Buluku) Nowhere to hide
(Oshunmare) The deeper the suffering
(Babalú-Ayé) The higher we rise
Purification
(Pray to Yemoja) Baptising fire
(Pray to Kokou) Purging the demons

Break his heart
It feels contagious
Primal screaming, let it bleed
They are banned on Puerto Rico
In the tower, desperately

  LOVE AGAIN
I've been to the statue of liberty, so fine, full of grace
Lately every girl I meet has that lady's look on their face
I'm not a man for one night stands, that's never been where it's at
Maybe I'm a little old fashioned, but what's so wrong with that?

I've been to the Empire State Building
Sidewalk surfed the Chinese Wall
Climbed the Eiffel Tower
Layed on my knees at the Taj Mahal
Searching for destiny, but I don't know where to look
I know it's not in a museum and it's not in a picture book
Affections and addiction and baby know I'm hooked

I wanna be in love again
I wanna be in love again
I don't want no fortune, no fame
I don't want no history books rememb'ring my name
I spend my time wishing it would rain
I wanna be in love again

I've been to Buckingham Palace
I sailed the seven seas
The Northern Lights blew my mind
Climbed the Mount Everest with ease
I've got a picture of Brian Wilson, that I pray to every night
Please let this be the first summer of the rest of my life

Took the dog sled to Siberia
Cape Town fish glowed in the dark
Rode the Grand Canyon rapids
Swam in Ningaloo with the sharks
What do I have to sacrifice to finally break this curse?
I'm drowning in self pity, while my heart just dies from thirst
I wonder if my ambition or my soul will dry up first

I wanna be in love again
I wanna be in love again
I don't want no fortune or fame
I don't want no buildings using my name
I don't need a casino or a plane
I wanna be in love again

I'm looking forward to enlightenment
One magical soul kiss
I don't know why I was born,
But there got to be something better than this
Somebody supernatural to transport me somewhere else
A wise mystical enchantress to put my mind to rest
Someone who can introduce me to this stranger called myself

I wanna be in love again
I wanna be in love again
I don't want no fortune or fame
I don't want no history books rememb'ring my name
I've only got my foolish heart to blame
I wanna be in love again
I wanna be in love again

  EDUCATION
Madness rules this concrete jungle
Ain't no mercy here
Victims prey on victims
Just to hide from their own fear

Baby it's a big world
The adventure begins
Don't you want to taste it
Don't you wonder where you fit in

Waiting for an answer
But it ain't gonna come
Can't tell where we're going
'Till we know where we're coming from

I want it
I need it
Education

We don't tear them down
We mend our fences endlessly
We've accepted our own prisons
Much too quietly

You want to have a good time
Want to have a little fun
Babies making babies
They'll never know freedom

You got a little money
Can't buy peace of mind
Got a little muscle
Can't use it all the time

I want it
I need it
Education

Education is the weapon
The weapon is education
