Old School Mix Brooklyn Baby

Brooklyn Baby 2018

Mothers Favorite Child set to re-release their classic Brooklyn Baby with new remixes and digitally re-mastered.  Release date August 2, 2018

*Brooklyn Baby*
Right there – a slick groove in the form of a woman created by the vibe of a borough in New York City . . . “she was from Brooklyn, baby”. If ever a song could harness the essence of the electromagnetic undertones of a fine female, “Brooklyn Baby” would be a most excellent gesture. Even before the first lyric emerges, the swagger of the baseline lets us know we’re about to slide right into an attitude we can’t shake. It’s a warm melody in hot pursuit of an urban swing. It’s an ode to the pleasure and mystery of infatuation. By the time the inevitable “fade out” is upon us, we’re left asking ourselves “what’s the quickest way to Brooklyn?”

*Mothers Favorite Child – Beautiful Demon*

The Paris Toon demo recording project, enigmatically titled, Beautiful Demon, is a portion of a life narrated by Morris Alan performed by Mothers Favorite Child.  MFC is and has always been a musical collective, whimsically constructed by intuition and nurtured by divine talent. This is a movement on a mission to expose truth in sounds and words. TRUTH – minor and major, raucous and romantic, soulful and . . . spiritual. The man behind the lyrics and production is Paris Toon, producer, lyricist and composer. Paris ritualistically defaults to his gut when the time comes to gather musicians and give birth to new songs. This is the method to his rarely observed madness. Since Mothers Favorite Child is a product of this method, it is only natural that its musicians and vocalists would be chosen to provide the soundtrack to the more deeply shaded thoughts of Paris Toon, the man.

The voice you hear behind Beautiful Demon is the talented Morris Alan.  Morris passed unexpectedly on September 4, 2015 but will forever live in the hearts of MFC and his fans.  The songs on Beautiful Demon were unfinished demos sitting on hard drives in the MFC vault.   The demo project was originally to be distributed by Island/ Def Jam but shelved for years at request of Paris. He did not want the demo project being released to the public not being fully produced to his liking. Paris was not emotionally ready to finish the project with the proper respect he felt the songs deserved but after many requests from fans and seeing it being bootlegged with bad quality on the Internet he decided to leave the songs exactly as they were the last time Morris last heard.  “You can’t say Mothers Favorite Child without acknowledging the letters of Morris’ name that help to spell it” says Paris Toon.

The music of the Beautiful Demon project revolves around the mother of all emotions, Love.  As many individuals have experienced, love can fuel so many other emotions and sensations and it can also take many shapes, sometimes making it vulnerable to misinterpretation. Lust, mistrust, admiration, honesty, intensity . . . these are all stops along the way on this journey through a human soul. This is a true Baptism by Fire by the Beautiful Demons that have sometimes surrounded us all.

Paris Toon & Vaughn Willis Create A Classic

Who Are You? Reaches #4 on the Billboard Hot Singles Charts 

The majority of music producers are content to sit in the shadows and use their technical expertise to put their signature sound on the music they deliver. They can recognize where a particular style or sound can be improved, meaning that the finished article always comes off sounding totally polished and professional. A producer can make or break the music that he works with, which may help explain why Paris Toon likes to have a few more fingers in the creative pie. Not content with just producing great music, he also delivers lyrics that are real and aimed straight at the heart.

Paris Toon and Vaughn Willis

It is for this reason that Paris Toon is viewed as more than just one of the best up and coming music producers in the industry right now. There are also many that see him as a dual threat, with his lyrics also being ranked among the best of what’s out there right now. If you need a perfect example of the kind of emotion that Paris Toon can put into words, you need to take a listen to “Who Are You,” which features the sweet, soulful sound that is the voice of Vaughn Willis. The combination of Willis and Toon was one that reaped major benefits, as Who Are You was able to make it all the way to number 4 on the Billboard charts. The vocals combined with the heartbreaking lyrics penned by Paris Toon are what made this song such a break-out hit, as it can easily be described as heartbreak and loss described in under 5 minutes. You will hear this song and feel the pain contained in those lyrics, yet you will also be left with an uplifting feeling, as Paris Toon’s words make it clear that this is a song about moving on, as well as about the loss that brought the pain in the first place.

The song starts out by letting the listener know that while the theme of the song is about love lost, it’s also about putting it in the past. This is perfectly summed up by Paris with these words:

This will be the last song
I ever dedicate to you
Because truth is
You are not worth
The ink, the paper
Or my breath

The chorus of the song speaks to how badly the relationship went, followed by a second verse that really opens up about the details and pain delivered in the relationship. It is heartbreaking, as you are left feeling real pity for the person that had to go through that. Just as you are about to lose hope, the song finishes on a positive note, with the brilliant lyrics letting you know that moving on and finding real love is the next step.

What makes “Who Are You” so powerful is that it contains feeling and emotions that we have all felt when losing a love. The hurt, the anger, and the healing are all to be found within the words of the song, clearly showing why Paris Toon is a lyricist to be reckoned with and we look forward to the upcomg album Law of Attraction Volume 1.  due out Summer 2017.

The R&B/Soul super group, brought together by acclaimed visionary producer Paris Toon, Mothers Child is known for blowing fans away during their live performances, as well as, climbing the Billboard charts. Their new single is something remarkably special. “Purple Funk” is a shout out to one of the greatest performers of all time… Prince. Paris Toon & Mothers Favorite Child featuring CeCe Peniston poured all their love for the musical icon into this new single, which will quickly become a fan favorite.

“This song is dedicated to Prince and my dear friend John Blackwell (Prince’s drummer),” commented Toon. “I wrote and produced this song to show where my inspiration for music first came from. I wanted to create something that Prince would give me a thumbs up on and when John told me he would have loved the track that was all I the validation I needed.”

If that inspiration was not enough, adding the undisputed “Queen of House Music” CeCe Peniston to the track was the icing on the cake. You can be sure this funky, dance jam is going to be heard everywhere – including the EDM scene that adores CeCe as much as anyone.

The new single features the bonus track “Wish,” which offers with a heavier edge calling back to the funk of the 70s and icons like Chaka Khan. Many will be surprised to see the versatility that CeCe delivers.

“CeCe is an artist’s artist and true living legend,” says Toon. “Purple Funk will showcase her talent in a phenomenal, new way.” With Purple Funk, Paris Toon & Mothers Favorite Child are letting the world know that R&B, Funk and Soul are alive and well in the 21st century.
