TAI "Inspiration"* (2008) is a compilation of 5 songs co-written by Eric Michael Cap & OR based BMI lyricist Willie Lowe. Featuring L.A. songstress Tai Lewis on vocals, this inspiring collection ranges in style from Gospel / Christian to Pop/R&B. The CD begins with the crossover ballads I Can't Get Enough of Loving You* and Look What Your Love Has Done To Me, before the upbeat Can't Face The Day Without You . The positive & uplifting Now & Forevermore and Somebody end the disc with a bang! All tracks were produced (music), recorded, mixed & mastered in Logic Studio (with Waves plugins) by Eric Michael Cap , including all keyboard & guitar parts.

TAI "Tunes" (2006) is a separate Promo CD which opens with the very hot Spread It All Over Me (in the vein of Beyonce). We then slow things down with the laid back R&B groove of Feelin' U Feelin' Me . The up-tempo in-your-face No Means No (anti Pussycat Dolls) is next up, followed by a remake of Lowe's "I Man, I Woman". Recorded & Mixed in Logic 7.

Press: Laurice was recently reviewed in Octobers
Blues & Soul Magazine (U.K.). Here's a quote:

"Best of the bunch though is 'Watching the City Come Alight'. It's got a decent melody, an infectious chorus and the tempo is just above a ballad, you know the kind of beat beloved of modern soul boys. Through it all Laurice's voice is strong and soulful and again we make the point that real soul is out there it just needs searching out". - Bill Buckley


The song debut @ #12 on their Autumn Soul Chart (beating some famous names).
