Beverley Knight - Apparently Nothin' (Feat. Glen Scott & Roots Manuva)

One of my favourite tracks from Beverley Knight's highly anticipated new album, Soul UK, which goes on sale this Monday. This exceptional rework of the Young Disciples' 90s classic is just one example of what you can come to expect from the album - although it is a cover album, Beverley hasn't simply regurgitated 13 classic Soul tracks; she has taken them away, added her own bit of brilliance and put a completely new twist on every single one of them. Be sure to cop this on Monday, it is one of the most enjoyable cover albums you will ever listen to.

Beverley Knight - Mama Used To Say (Cool Million Boogie Down 12" Mix)

Here is Cool Million's super funky remix of Beverley Knight's lead single from her upcoming album, Soul UK. The album will be her seventh studio album and is a tribute to her favourite UK soul artists - it is due for release in the on June 24th. My parents raised me on this music - I think she has done Junior proud.

Fairplay

Here is the first taster from Soul UK, which is Beverley Knight’s upcoming 8th studio album. This is a promo-only version of my favourite Soul II Soul track, Fairplay, which features an intro from Jazzie B himself. Beverley’s version adds a fierce horn section and incredibly powerful vocals that we have come to expect. The album is a personal journey, curated by Beverley and delivered with her own unique soul/gospel style, through some of her all time favorite soulful tracks by British artists. The first commercially available single is a storming take on Junior’s classic, Mama Used To Say, which is out June 27th. Smacked it.
