Los Angeles, October 18, 2013 U-Nam is back with a new original single that will really get you dancing! With his latest single, U-Nam is teaming up to help introduce the smooth jazz group NiVO DEUX. NiVO DEUX recently made their debut with "Love's No Distance" (a fusion of smooth jazz and 80s electro) and they have had rave reviews. The single recently did quite well in the Smooth Jazz charts this past summer. As part of this new collaboration, however, U-Nam and NiVO DEUX are shifting gears to bring on the "Funk". The song, driven by funky guitars "à la Nile Rodgers," features an energetic horn section reminiscent of EWF, Kool & The Gang and even Miami Sound Machine. Up and Coming Smooth Jazz Saxophonist Shannon Kennedy adds her voice with her soulful and sexy tenor sax playing throughout the song, while U-Nam is doing his thing - mixing very funky riffs and intricate jazz licks. "C'est Le Funk" has a little it of something for Funk fans and Smooth Jazz fans alike. It's even got the touch that will appeal to those currently digging the funk revival spearheaded by artists such as Daft Punk and Bruno Mars. As for "C'est Le Funk," as said by Jeremy H. (Senior Engineer at the Award Wining Mastering Studio La Villa): "The only problem with the song is that you can't keep from nodding your head to it!" We hope you enjoy the new single. Vive le Funk!
