'Look Around The Corner', out on 2nd April on Tru Thoughts, is the first full collaborative album from musical soulmates Quantic and Alice Russell, two of the UK's best loved independent artists and leading lights of the international funk, soul and alternative dance music scene. The first single and title track has been added to the BBC 6Music playlist, with heavy early support. This intoxicating record mixes sweet soul and blues with overtones of folk and gospel, and the inimitable swing of Quantic's world-renowned outfit the Combo B?rbaro, who form the core band. Recording at Quantic's Sonido del Valle studio in his adopted home city of Cali, Colombia, producer/musician Quantic and singer/songwriter Russell had the space and time to revel in their creative chemistry, revisiting and building on the spirit of their previous collaborative tracks which have peppered the last decade (including big hitters for Quantic Soul Orchestra and for Russell's solo project). For legions of hopeful fans around the World, this is the culmination of a tense will-they-won't-they storyline, and 'Look Around The Corner' proves good things come to those who wait. |
