UK release date 21.02.2012

When two big noises get together something's bound to go off! Alice Russell, the UK queen of Soul teams up with her old sparring partner Quantic to deliver an exquisite piece of retro swinging dinner music! Yes nip down to your local bistro, grab a bottle of blue nun, eat some lovely coronation chicken and groove out to this one!

If you remember 5th dimension and Rotary Connection then this is your bag Daddio lush strings, classical flutes, cuckoo popping backing vocals, swirling strings over a glorious groovetastic gyration that will leave you never wanting your happy pills again. I can't wait to hear the album Tru-Thoughts have done it again the new Sonny and Cher but a whole lot hipper.
