Un diamante en bruto rescatado del archivo más improbable: Paul Lowe – “Let’s Work It Out / Make Things Better” es una joya de funk y soul electrónico grabada en 1979 en un modesto estudio de 8 pistas en Guyana, obra del cantautor surinamés Paul Lowe. Esta reedición en vinilo 7" a cargo del sello Stroom abre una ventana única hacia una escena underground casi desconocida, donde la calidez del soul y la urgencia del disco-boogie tropical se funden en una producción casera de alto calibre emocional y rítmico.

Del lado A, “Let’s Work It Out” es puro soul de atardecer: un tempo contenido, guitarras suaves como terciopelo, foley atmosférico y un falsete que flota con melancolía sobre capas lo-fi que, sin exagerar, atrapan desde la primera vuelta. No hay prisa, pero tampoco pausa: cada compás está impregnado de una sensibilidad introspectiva que hace de esta pista un secreto bien guardado, ideal para sets más íntimos, warm-ups con feeling o esos momentos de reconexión profunda en la pista.

La cara B, “Make Things Better”, cambia el rumbo hacia algo más inmediato, más solar. Aquí entra la percusión afro-latina, un bajo gomoso que rebota con groove natural, palmadas polvorientas y un Rhodes cálido que se mezcla con silbatos de samba y armonías vocales que se clavan en la memoria. Esta es una bomba de boogie optimista con tintes caribeños que, sin perder el toque casero, invita al baile con una frescura innegable. No es exagerado decir que este track podría colarse con facilidad en un set entre una rareza de Keith Hudson y una pieza brasilera perdida.

Ambos temas son testimonios de un enfoque DIY genuino que suena fuera del tiempo y de cualquier tendencia. Perfecto para quienes buscan algo inesperado pero genuinamente soulful, este vinilo no solo suena increíble, también cuenta una historia musical rara y necesaria.
