Backed by Monophonics, Kirkland delivers a rich, horn-driven collection that seamlessly blends upbeat soul with heartfelt ballads, reaffirming his place as one of the genre's enduring voices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe album opens with the energetic \"Ready Or Not,\" where Kirkland confidently declares, \"Baby, I am ready,\" setting the tone for a triumphant comeback. Producer Kelly Finnigan channels the lush sophistication of Philly soul on \"Where Did We Go Wrong,\" layering horns, flute, French horn, and sitar beneath Kirkland's reflection on love in turmoil. Finnigan also arranges the romantic \"Leading Lady,\" while joining Kirkland on background vocals for the tender \"Remembering Our Love.\" The midtempo title track \"The Business\" turns it's attention to social issues, pairing flowing strings with lyrics addressing systemic injustice and police oppression. In contrast, \"Joyriding\" captures the carefree spirit of summer with an uplifting groove that ranks among the album's highlights. Well-received single \"Glowin',\" closes the album. Inspired by The Rationals' 1969 version of the Dr. John composition, the song reflects Kirkland's enduring message of seeking spiritual balance and happiness over material success. Written and recorded between late 2021 and mid-2022 with contributions from Jimmy James (Parlor Greens) and Lou King (Ironsides), The Business pairs Kirkland's timeless vocals with the Monophonics' lush musicianship, marking a welcome return for the legendary soul singer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat \/ \u003cb\u003eLP\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReleased \/ \u003cstrong\u003e10\/30\/2026\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCatalogue \/ \u003cb\u003eUBQY-443\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBarcode \/ \u003cstrong\u003e780661144311\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArtist \/ \u003cstrong\u003eMike James Kirkland\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLabel \/ \u003cstrong\u003eUbiquity Records\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGenre \/ \u003cstrong\u003eFunk \/ Soul\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secretly Canadian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43888048963645,"sku":"FSL-K-780661144311","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1487\/4550\/files\/4538446-3701748.jpg?v=1793028587"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.plaidroomrecords.com\/collections\/artist-mike-james-kirkland.oembed","provider":"Plaid Room Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
