New Music: Clean Bandit

Let me start off by saying that the video to this track is genius. This band make some kind of sound that I can’t really describe: there’s some Ed Sheeran and Lily Allen vibes coming off this, mixed around with some Massive Attack. And then there’s some old school classical strings thrown in… I’ll be interested to see what comes next from this group. A&E is released on 25th November through Black Butter Records.

Beverley Knight announces release of new album ‘Soul UK’

Beverley Knight will be releasing her seventh studio album in July. Entitled ‘Soul UK,’ the album features British songs and artists that inspired Beverley leading up to her own arrival on the UK scene in the mid 90’s.
 
Produced by Grammy winning Martin Terefe (James Morrison, Jason Mraz) and London production duo Future Cut (Lilly Allen, Beyonce). Taking in songs from a range of iconic artists – from Soul II Soul and Loose Ends to Jamiroquai and George Michael, it also includes some of the more ‘hidden’ gems that make up British soul’s highlights of the 80’s and 90’s, including Princess’s “Say I’m Your Number One” and Lewis Taylor’s “Damn”.
