A Motown sound for the 21st century.

You may argue that you could pick any number of male Motown (or even Northern Soul) artists. However, (& let's be honest about this) - "R & B" (as it is termed now) requires a major overhaul for the better.

With that in mind, there's no harm in a sound that tips its hat towards Marvin, Smokey, Curtis et al.

Emphasis is on the subtle production - music-buyers are being fobbed-off by the retro-sound (Mark Ronson, stop adding bloody horns to everything), so if you want to listen to something retro, but made this year, make it this.

Taken from the forthcoming album, "The Way I See It" (out on 15th Sept, I believe).

Enjoy!
