Sylvester Essentials

Sylvester Essentials

No one embodied the ecstasy and physical release of disco music in the late ‘70s quite like Sylvester. With a voice that could dash between gritty gospel harmonies and ethereal falsetto solos at the drop of a hat, Sylvester made songs like “You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)” as skin-tingling as disco could get for both queer and straight dancers alike. The brooding, downtempo funk of “I Need Somebody to Love Tonight” speaks to a melancholic loneliness behind all the glamour, while the dramatic synthesisers of “Stars” utilise twinkling, cosmic effects to create something undeniably human.
