Aurra - Satisfaction

Today Marks The 12th Anniversary of Aurra’s 5th Studio Album “Satisfaction” Originally Released on September 9, 2013.

“Satisfaction” is an unreleased studio album by Aurra that was originally set to be released in 1984.

In 2013, Family Groove Records recovered the lost tapes for the unreleased '5th' Aurra album Satisfaction, originally recorded in 1984.

The album’s direction was supervised by Steve Washington, Sheila Brody, and Daniel Borine.

”Satisfaction" is a well-regarded album that offers a strong dose of funk and boogie music.

'Satisfaction' is a unique blend of funk, boogie, electro & R&B capturing Steve Washington's sharp production skills along with Sheila Horne Brody’s timeless songwriting.

The album is the first album that doesn’t feature vocals by Aurra’s original lead singers Curt Jones and Starleana Young who’ve left the band due to legal disputes over the band’s name with the band’s founding member Steve Washington.

The album “Satisfaction” features vocals by Sheila Brody and Mark Stevens.

The album is considered a significant piece of music history, documenting the early use of drum machines and the transition from post-disco to boogie and electro.

While some may find the Linn drum programming a bit dated, the overall consensus is positive, with many appreciating the album's funky, danceable rhythms and catchy hooks.

Upon it’s release the album “Satisfaction” didn’t reach the Billboard charts and the album’s self-titled track "Satisfaction" failed to chart on Billboard as well.
