Roman Andrén has been working with "Ambessa's dream" day and night for the last two years.
"Finally I can sleep without producing in my dreams", he
says. Roman, who plays the piano as well, invites us to follow his journey together with the African lion Ambessa. 74 amazing minutes with funk, soul, jazz and some meditative vibes as well. "Ambessas dream is a spectacular project with astonishing stories. There is no sound on this album that Roman didn´t record himself. Ask him where and when he recorded that
little tune and You will get an exhaustive answer".
As a listener you will find that Roman spent a lot of time and
love on his debut album.

Roman Andren - Ambessa's Dream
3½ Stars out of 4
"Roman Andren has worked on his new release for the last two years. I can honestly say that all the hard work has paid off. His new CD, Ambessa's Dream is really a joy to listen to. It has an African world beat savor to it as well as enough Smooth Jazz to satisfy. The production and arrangements on this CD are much like the work of Quincy Jones and Incognito. The highlights are the tracks, "You Got Me Dreamin'" and "Make it Happen" which are marvelous to listen to. The tracks are soulful and captivating. If if you like the music in the line of Soul II Soul & Incognito, then you're in for a treat. Consider buying this CD."
___
"This cd has some very serious potential. For people who are into groups such as Incognito, Enigma, Brand new heavies and Soulive, Roman has added a worldly, international flavor to his production.
I like it"

Amber Lady - this song is a hit!
author: Peter Böhi
As "hot tip" for the SwissGroove.ch Top 5 of January I selected a track from Roman Andrén - Ambessa's Dream called "Amber Lady". Unfortunately the short sound sample at CDBaby.com doesn't show the best part of this song which clocks in at over 11 minutes and reaches a tremendous climax. Roman Andrén brings back a groovy and organic ensemble sound which is rooted in the 70ies and 80ies still retaining some modern elements. Hailing from Sweden he recorded this project with a large number of fellow musicians giving the music a great live feel. Speaking of "Amber Lady" the song changes gears after the introductory few minutes and turns into a groovy dance track with hand claps, a great extended synth solo and an ecstatic female voice towards the end of the song making this an absolute MONSTER dance track with a house feel. Unmissable!
