New music by a fantastic bass player

I'm very biased, because she's a good friend of mine, but I'm a big fan of Madelief and her band Madlife. She plays most keys, some guitars, backing vocals and amazing bass lines. Live she plays one of her three fretless 5-strings while singing... On this album you also hear her fretted P and my Mustang.

I like this. Forceful, organic bass playing. Is she nose-wrinkle-free?

Is there a CD? Tell her to make one. I don't do spotify.

She has her old record on vinyl. This is digital only for the moment. I can send you a Soundcloud link?

Feel free to post one. I'm not a Spotify user either.

Chris, do you know what track(s) your Mustang is on?

Chris P. · February 25, 2020, 02:29:14 PM

For sure the Femme Fatale song.

It's my CIJ Competition Mustang Reissue with Labella flats for Mustang.

Chris P. · February 25, 2020, 02:32:29 PM

BTW I made the cover pic of the album. That and lending her my Mustang are my only contributions.

Good stuff on both counts.

Great review. But they could have at least mentioned that you let her use your Mustang or that you did the cover.

Chris P. · March 13, 2020, 03:38:38 AM

Haha, I just try to help her. We have some appoitments with important people soon!

It sounds very interesting.
