A
powerful new album from the UK’s favourite soul/funk/jazz band, with
the addition of outstanding new male vocalist Mo Brandis and established
UK jazz singer Natalie Williams, who join Maysa and Vanessa Haynes. A fresh sounding Incognito reflecting the energy of their live shows. “Surreal”
is full of beautiful songs delivered over a bed of fluid bass lines and
irresistible drum grooves - Incognito at their creative best, with the
addition of two vocal newcomers - soulful 26-year-old Mo Brandis and an
established favourite on the UK jazz scene Natalie Williams. Mo
Brandis makes a big impact with the lead single, the hooky “Goodbye To
Yesterday” and “ Don’t Wanna Know”, while Natalie is outstanding on the
sultry “Above The Night”. And long-time band favourite Maysa kicks the album off with “The Less You Know”, under-pinned by a driving bass groove. The
album has only one cover song, vocalled by Vanessa Haynes in Loleatta
Holloway-esque style - a little-known 1976 disco tune “Ain’t It Time”. The
Incognito faithful will be happy with the familiar trademark
instrumentals, and another stunning Maysa performance on the mid-tempo
“Capricorn Sun”. The band will be playing extensive live
dates around the UK and Europe in support of the album, with a London
date set for May 25.
