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.

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.
