CRAIG ALEXANDERPhenomenal Woman / Across My Mind

Yore Records presents: Craig Alexander - Phenomenal Woman / Across My Mind (12" Maxi Reissue)Following his recent appearance on the label, Craig Alexander returns to Yore Records with a carefully curated reissue of two standout House Workouts: Phenomenal Woman and Across My Mind.Originally released on earlier records, these tracks are now brought together on one 12" - each presented in two distinct mixes - capturing the raw, emotional depth of Chicago House in its purest form.At the heart of this release lies Phenomenal Woman, a track that draws inspiration from Maya Angelou's iconic poem of the same name. Rooted in the African-American cultural context, the piece carries a subtle but powerful message of identity, strength and self-definition - translated here into deep, jazz-infused House music.Across My Mind complements this with a more introspective tone, driven by warm chords, understated grooves and a timeless sense of space.Together, these recordings embody what House music has always been at its core:music with a message, shaped by lived experience, culture and emotion.Stripped down, honest and deeply rooted, this is Chicago House in its most original and authentic form - a sound that continues to resonate far beyond the dancefloor.Limited to 250 copies worldwide / no repress.
