notes

"DON'T BE AFRAID-GET ON " is the first new music in three years from NEW YORK based soul band COOLY's HOT BOX. The 11 track CD features lead vocals on seven cuts from the highly acclaimed ANGELA JOHNSON and lead vocals on the remaining tracks from drummer and founder CHRISTIAN URICH. This project also showcases the ever expanding production and writing skills of Angela and Christian. "DON' T BE AFRAID-GET ON" is a versatile, melodic, infectious hybrid of r&b, neo-soul, funk, dance, soulful house and rhythmic
jazz, fused into a sound that is familiar, but yet unique.

This project can only enhance the band's rapidly growing reputation for being among the very finest exponents of funky, jazzy, danceable music anywhere in the world.
Since CHB released their first album, both CHRISTIAN URICH and ANGELA JOHNSON have been extremely busy with outside projects.

Christian, who is also the founder and lead singer of TORTURED SOUL, has been busy supporting the bands debut effort, entitled "INTRODUCING TORTURED SOUL." Christian has also completed successful collaborations with ROGER SANCHEZ, OSUNLADE and DJ SPINNA. Angela has completed two solo albums, her debut "THEY DON'T KNOW," and her
sophomore effort, "GOT TO LET IT GO." "GOT TO LET IT GO," released in June, via Columbia Japan, is scheduled for a March 2005 US release. Angela has most recently produced tracks on RAHSAAN PATTERSON, GORDON CHAMBERS and LAURNEA, for upcoming projects. Angela also penned the
song "All Day Long," for the recently released MAYSA LEAK CD.

SBC.GLOBAL .NET is using the COOLYS HOT BOX's track " LOSE YOUR FRIENDS" from their current CD " DON'T BE AFRAID- GET ON "as the centerpiece of their new commericial campaign complete with visual clips of the band.

    I'm truly glad that I walked into Dr. Wax at the right time, because that's where I was 1st introduced to this outstanding CD. If you don't know, now you know!!!

  • 360 degrees!

    This would've been one of those records I would've played 30 years ago as a child, after getting permission to listen to the stereo from my mom(God rest her soul). It's nice to hear an album(or should I say CD)that I can listen to without skipping to the next track! I'm truly grateful to see soul return full circle(I was beginning to worry for a minute). Now we need the return of soul radio to work alongside Soultracks.com(we have Tom Joyner for only a few hours a day, my people). My gratitude goes out to Cooly's Hot Box & everyone who's bringing back the "soul". Keep on pushin'& flowin', baby!

  • Outstanding, Pure Soul
    author: J.W.Carter Darkside Productionz

    In my humble opinion, this cd should do quite well on the market. The vocals are crisp and very precise. The music, well lets say, it leaves a fellow musician extremly inspired. I highly advise all that has an ear, to check out this cd. You, as well as I, would be glad you did. J.W. Carter www.darksideproductionz.com

  • One of the best new albums of the year
    author: SoulTracks

    If it is true that great music will ultimately find an audience, then "Don't Be Afraid, Get On" should be the breakout album for Cooly's Hot Box. (to read more, see http://www.soultracks.com/coolys_hot_box.htm)

    author: Garrett Murphy

    What I heard was very, very good! If I heard stuff like this more often, I would be inclined to listen to soul music again.

  • this is quite simply the best cd i have heard in years
    author: kevin bleeker

    a note to all you radio people the first track don't be afraid is a straight up smash ,great track , vocals love the entire cd, maybe I is a touching ballad , great lyrics , my only complaint is that the last track lose your friends should have been second
