- Edited 3 months agoIn 1977, Flora Purim graced us with "Nothing Will Be As It Was...Tomorrow," an album that marked a fascinating turning point in her musical journey. She moved from Milestone Records to Warner Bros., and embraced a sound that was both a nod to her Brazilian jazz origins and a step towards a more polished, accessible style. This evolution was further shaped by the album's producers, including the legendary George Duke, working under the alias Dawili Gonga, and the talented drummer Leon "Ndugu" Chancler.
The album is a captivating blend of genres, highlighting Purim's impressive vocal versatility. "You Love Me Only," a beautiful song written by Patrice Rushen, perfectly encapsulates the album's essence. It showcases Purim's distinctive vocal improvisations and phrasing within a sleek, contemporary soundscape.
What makes this album even more intriguing is its unexpected collaborations. Purim joined forces with Al McKay and Phillip Bailey from Earth, Wind & Fire on "Angels," a track that seamlessly merges their signature funk-soul vibe with Purim's mesmerizing wordless vocals. This fusion of styles adds an exciting dimension to the album.
The album's title track and "Fairy Tale Friend" were penned by the iconic Brazilian composer Milton Nascimento. Purim gives "Fairy Tale Friend" a funky twist, proving her ability to reinterpret songs while preserving their emotional depth. "Bridges," another Nascimento gem, is a touching ballad that reveals a more tender side to Purim's vocals and her profound connection to her Brazilian roots.
"Nothing Will Be As It Was...Tomorrow" may be somewhat overlooked in Purim's extensive discography, but it's a true hidden treasure waiting to be unearthed. It's a testament to her artistic flexibility, her willingness to explore new sonic territories while staying connected to her core musical identity. If you're a fan of late-'70s jazz fusion or simply appreciate innovative, genre-defying music, this album is an absolute must-listen.
The album's striking cover art, depicting Purim in a vibrant red dress against a stark black backdrop, has been interpreted as a visual metaphor for the album's theme of transformation and embracing the unknown. Though it wasn't a massive commercial hit, the album garnered critical acclaim, with praise directed at Purim's captivating vocals and the album's diverse musical palette. Many consider "Nothing Will Be As It Was...Tomorrow" a pivotal album in Purim's career, bridging the gap between her earlier, more experimental phase and the more accessible sound she explored in subsequent years.
