‘Shame’ is the oldest school to date owned by Mr. Joe Ventura himself. It seems like he’s been transported from the dance floor around 1993 straight into the future with a bang in typical JV style. The queen of Brand New Heavies and her UK certified soul sister Sulene Fleming join forces with Joe once again and arrive with a sublime vocal performance to match.

Designed to be a perfect listening experience, the longest one-hour experimental ride is infused with out of place rhythms, conflicting sounds, and easy breaks.

‘Shame’ is an overwhelming narrative. Through solid arrangements and solid programming, this album becomes a vehicle for reverential music that manages to pour out enough ideas from the artist himself to shake off the high era, allowing him to exist in his own right as credible.

Through solid arrangements and solid programming, this work becomes a vehicle for reverential music that manages to spill out enough of the artist’s own ideas to shake off the high era, allowing it to exist in its own right as credible. Joe Ventura manages to admirably distill it into an album that turns out to be listened to from start to finish.
