Opener "Oh, Love" is a dizzying, emotional slow jam. The rest of the record is hardly filler though. It's sexy, deeply emotional, melancholic, hopeful, passionate and just radiates so much raw energy - this is music. "Feel My Love"'s deceptive simplicity makes it perfect to drop during a house set, a classic funk party or at a west coast rap jam. This is a work of art that made people fall in love with the funk - it transcends the limitations of genre. That song is the eternal title track, "Feel My Love". A track that can fill up a dance floor within seconds of it's starting. A straight killer beloved by all that have had the pleasure of moving to it. A brilliantly produced deep slung, low rider funk classic, it's a masterpiece of "funk love music." A perfectly formed five track mini LP of unparalleled heat, there's one song here that, above the rest, represents Orange County boogie-funk. If ever an album could transport one to the hazy sunshine and imagined halcyon paradise of Southern California in the mid-1980s, or could capture the early evening warmth of hanging at an inclusive boogie jam as it approaches "magic hour" in Santa Ana or Anaheim, then it's Feel My Love. Be With Records presents a reissue of Vaughan Mason and Butch Dayo's Feel My Love, originally released on Salsoul in 1983.
