Like stripping away the layers of an onion sax-man Michael J Thomas has, through a sequence of singles, been gradually revealing the contents of his EP ‘Outside The Door’.
A consummate cover of the Tears For Fears 1985 hit ‘Everybody Wants to Rule The World’ (with a powerhouse trumpet solo from the legendary Randy Brecker) followed the holiday song ‘It’s Christmas’ with vocals from Maysa and ‘The OG Bounce’ which quickly became a hit on the Billboard Smooth Jazz Airplay chart.
The EP’s other songs include a new take on Stevie Wonder’s ‘I Wish’ and this one, ‘H.A.D’, featuring Special EFX mainstay Chieli Minucci.
Nice track
