Vega Records is proud to present its latest release, “Time To Let Go” with Mike Lindup, singer, keyboard player, composer and founder member of the legendary band Level 42. Formed in 1980 with Mark King, Phil and Boon Gould, the band has sold over 30 million albums and are still performing worldwide to this day.
“Wow the stories from Mike Lindup! He had us all with our ears open listening to every word. The early days of Level 42, the recording of 'Starchild', 'Lessons In Love', 'Love Meeting Love' and more! We were like little kids sitting around a campfire listening to Mike tell Level 42 stories and talk about the jazz funk era in London." Louie Vega
Mike Lindup has performed onstage with artists including George Harrison, Eric Clapton, Ringo Star, Sting and many more. He’s also frequented theatre stages in London’s West End, playing on shows such a Thriller Live where he went on to complete four global tours, two of which as the show’s Musical Director.
“Time To Let Go” is taken from the new Mike Lindup album “Changes 2”, with smokin’ remixes by Two Soul Fusion AKA Louie Vega & Josh Milan. The Remixers deliver two versions, one taking you to the soul house funky grooves of Two Soul Fusion and the other catapulting you into the world of Afro House.
It’s all about Mike Lindup’s unique voice and his powerful, brilliant lyrics that make a huge statement well needed in the world today. Grooves to make you dance are no problem for Two Soul Fusion but when you have award winning lyrics its a whole other level here. The man who sang the lead vocal on New York City’s favourite dance club culture classic “Starchild” by Level 42 has now blessed Vega Records with the new gem “Time To Let Go”.
