Kiss This World Goodbye

Before the smooth boogie hits, Mtume was making dense, spiritually-charged jazz-funk like this, and it's a different animal entirely. Long, patient arrangements, thick low end, vocals used almost as another instrument. "Wanha Mtoto" stretches out and never rushes — this is a record that wants you to sit with it, not skip through it looking for a single.
