“Enamoreme” is the new single from Heidi Vogel & Produced by Juan Laya & Jorge Montiel

 

Delivering a fast moving sonic experience, condensing and entire spectrum of eclecticism and dancing force, yet rooted to the organic / musical philosophy that has always characterized the skills of this crew.

Following on from their soulful sojourn, “The Journey” with singer Andre Espeut, Imagenes in house production lynchpins Juan Laya & Jorge Montiel team up once again with the amazing jazz & broken beat singer/songwriter, Heidi Vogel, to deliver the new uptempo funk-inflected latin boogie house groover, “Enamoreme”.

Changing up the gears its uplifting groove shifts between jazz fusion, electronic and latin influences, piping a dense sexy house fusion in its Club Version. Its piping hot funk laces both versions including the Instrumental and a Neo Latin classic in the making with crossover appeal for summer bars, rooftops and beach sessions.

As vocalist for the Cinematic Orchestra for over 15 years and the go-to vocalist for acts such as Thundercat, Soweto Kinch and Chick Corea, Heidi Vogel has long been a critics choice for her extraordinary voice and velvet tone. Respected and revered, Heidi is a frequent face on the London and LA jazz & soul scenes and has toured with Erykah Badu at Dubai’s Chill Out Festival amongst numerous other appearances at North Sea Jazz Festival, Coachella, Gilles Peterson Worldwide and Blue Note Jazz Festival.
