#49 | The Brand New Heavies | TBNH
Acid Jazz
According to Matthew Hocter: “An album that not only harks back to the days of early ‘90s Heavies Acid Jazz and Brit Funk (think long suede jackets, secondhand thrift stores and a flare in your jeans as well as your attitude), but it also sees the long awaited return of former lead vocalist, the legendary N’Dea Davenport….Not that the Heavies ever left, but they are most definitely back with a corker of an album that will not only have the most ardent of fans reveling in this offering, but it also allows for a new generation of listeners to enjoy the sweet sounds of one of the originators of Acid Jazz that continue to shape the genre today.”
