Michael Gray's star has been firmly in the ascendant in recent years, with a string of chart-topping, floor-filling productions and remixes under his belt. The excitement is therefore palpable for his soon come album Optimism, which sees Michael pour both his heart and his three decades + of experience into what will be one of THE albums of the year.'This album has been a year and a half in the making,' states the 'Weekend' hitmaker and one half of legendary disco house pioneers Full Intention, clearly now keen to release his career-defining magnum opus out into the world.In these confused and often frightening times, we need musical communion more than ever. Only too aware of this, Michael has 'set out to make an album full of positivity.' Needless to say, the resulting 'hybrid of classic disco mixed with modern disco and soul' hits the spot and looks set to provide a soulful summer soundtrack to lift spirits and fill dancefloors.In an era of often generic, over-computerized sounds, Michael returns to the source of his lifelong musical inspirations. 'Most of these productions have involved working with live strings and horns,' he enthuses. The musicians include live drums by Derrick McKenzie from Jamiroquai, percussion by Russ Tarley from Incognito, and string arranger Stephen Hussey, known for his work on Soul II Soul's early hits.Michael's much-needed musical missives for the ages are masterful manna from the heavens. Things just got optimistic.Tracklisting:A1. IvyA2. Fly AwayA3. You Got To RememberB1. Season HighB2. ButterflyB3. Save MeC1. InvincibleC2. Where Do We Go From HereC3. All I Want Is YouD1.
