Really feeling the Badge and Talkalot project by DJ & Producer Gilberto Caleffi after hearing a few songs a few weeks ago on Craig Charles Funk & Soul radio show.

The latest release ‘Fragments Of The Soul‘ is such a powerful listen about touching stories of life, love, heartbreak, civil rights & social politics in America beautifully told by the likes of; Georgia Anne Muldrow, Lisa Kekaula, Kevin Mark Trail, Rahel, Neco Redd & Amp Fiddler, Pugs Atomz & Psalm One, and Ian Whitelaw who all feature immaculately on the release.

Badge and Talkalot is the brainchild of Gilberto Caleffi, DJ and producer with an eclectic style that straddles the genres of funk, soul, hip hop, r&b.

The new album “Fragments Of The Soul” is about life, inner feelings and the outside world, social situation and racism exposed, hurt and loss. Events you can’t control that can shatter your soul. Then the need to overcome bad things, move on and evolve. Pick up the pieces and put them together again.

Moving from the totally vintage sound of the previous album, Gilberto reintroduces samples and electronics, funky guitars, piano and a broader range of featuring artists:
Georgia Anne Muldrow, Lisa Kekaula, Kevin Mark Trail, Rahel, Neco Redd & Amp Fiddler, Pugs Atomz & Psalm One, Ian Whitelaw and Adam Topol.

“Giving Up Your Ghost” is a previously unreleased song written by Ben Harper.
