Hi There All You GroOvy People Out There in Web~Land! >>> It’s COMING, Are YOU Ready, Are YOU Prepared?!!! >>> The BRAND NEW CD SINGLE from “Daddy Funk & The Scorpion King” >>> Completed, Procuced, Mixed & Mastered & SooN to Be LAUNCHED into the World of Music!!!

The All NEW CD Single by “Daddy Funk & The Scorpion King” Will Be Entitled “Superhero!”" >>>

It Will Contain 3 Fresh, Powerful & ExCiting NEW Tracks! >>> With Striking NEW Artwork to Compliment the SeXy NEW SOUND!>>>>>>

ALL Ready & Due for LAUNCH Early 2007 (Pencilled in for a Late January 2007 Release ) But NOW to Be LAUNCHED JUNE 1st. >>>

I Truly BelieVe this is BY FAR Our BEST Recorded Work to Date & is the First Tantilising Taste of the New Style & Direction that Jamie King ( The Scorpion King ) & I ( Daddy Funk ) Are taking for ALL the Hot, NEW Tunes for the Forthcoming Album “3″ due for Release SoMetime in 2008.

“Superhero!” will be as Follows:

1. Superhero! ~
At Last I’ve Written a Song about oNe of My BiGGest PasSioNs!!! This Tune is Going to Be MASSIVE! A SuperSeXy Slice of Powerful Funky Pop Mahem!!! CAN YOU RESIST!
BIG Production, BIG Sound, BIG HIT!!

2. Fear of Success ~
This Cinematic Rock/Pop Power~House is Lyrically Very Strong. It Speaks Loudly & Clearly of My Mis~Trust & Loathing of the Corporate Music Industry Machine. One Line from this Strong Piece of Music Illustrates the Overall Tone……”Fueled by Drugs & Drugs & Booze, Music Biz Life Killer Blues”. This Track Features Cool, New Drums Provided for Me by Yamaha Drums UK & Sexy, New Zildjian Cymbals (Thanks to Nik & the Team at Yamaha).

3. Superhero! the Remix ~ “AutoFuNk”
This SuperTune (Superhero) was SCREAMING to be REMIXED…..so Who were We to Argue!!!!! This WILL Get YOU on Your Feet & DANCING!

Jamie K & I haVe spent FAR More TiMe Fine Tuning & Perfecting these Possitive, NEW Tracks & the attention to Detail Really Shows! >>>

It gave Us a Great Chance to Get the Very Best Out of Our New Studio Equipment, Running Many Tracks on the Newest Version of “Pro Tools” on the Brand New Mac Gear ( with Pentium Chip Technology & EVERYTHING! )>>>

This Gave Us Huge Scope to Explore Big Vocal Harmony Arrangements, which is a Passion of Ours & Layer Up Massive Instrument Blends, like NeVer Before!>>>

The NEW Album Will also Include for the First tiMe Compositions of Jamie K’s as Well as My Own & in Addition to Playing ALL the Instruments Ourselves this tiMe Round, “3″ Will also Include Vocals by Jamie too!!! >>> & the DudE CAN SING!>>>

HEAR “The Scorpion King” Singing Backing Vocals for the Very First Time on “Superhero!”. He Sounds Super~CoOL!!! >>>
