Peak time soulful house passion from this new transatlantic team of Chuck Slay and Robert Burbidge. There’s a scarcity of classic songwriting in house music these days but ‘What You Need’ harks back to that golden clubland period of the late 80s/early 90s where well-constructed songs, sharp instrumentalism and dancefloor mayhem cohabited in the dance from Chicago and NYC to London and beyond.

With all lead and background vocals delivered by the sky bursting talents of Aleicia Reynolds, her glorious and versatile voice sounds like she is channelling Inner City’s Paris Grey or Chaka Khan at points but always with her own personality reaching through.

The musicianship is outstanding, with live bass, guitar and horns driving the song into gospel-soul heaven, the energy on this tune HUGE! Ecstatic, funky as hell, and hitting a dancefloor near you soon.
