DJ Qness – On Cue Vol. 3 – Soul Candi

<House> For anyone who was waiting for the new DJ Qness album they’ll attest to the fact that it was a lengthy wait. However after numerous setbacks and new release dates, the album is finally here! The question though then becomes was it well worth the wait and the answer is a definitive yes! The third instalment of the On Cue series by Qness just might be the best one yet and certainly proves that the producer has grown into a force to be reckoned with. Opening with a remake of Corrine Bailey Rae’s Trouble Sleeping, Qness sets a steady soulful tone with the foot-tapping rendition of the classic tune. It’s not long though before the album picks up its tempo and gets down to business with some serious stomping bangers. Familiar singles, Everything and Look Inside sit perfectly in the middle of the album and provide the smooth transition into party mode. Qness also returns to his remixing roots with a reinterpreted version of legendary Zimbabwean musician Oliver Mtukuzudzi’s Ngoromera (Hatidi Hondo). Those south of the border will certainly enjoy this spruced up version of the popular folk song. In essence On Cue Vol. 3 is packed to the brim with great productions and one really appreciates why it took him so long to release the album. It’s a great album hands down.
