So Solid return...


So Solid, unquestionably the most influential British urban act of the 21st century, are back with a new single and album, still blazing a trail that others can only follow but never quite match. After stepping back from the spotlight a few years back to watch what they had created seep its way into the British mainstream and dominate not only the charts but all youth culture, founding members Mega, Romeo and Lisa Maffia have decided to regroup and re-energise.

 

The results are scintillating. First single from their as-yet-untitled new album is 'Since You Went Away', a liquid slice of street-smart R&B, smooth and rough in equal measures.

 

It's like stroking a cat that suddenly reveals its claws, like Mary J. Blige serenading Wu Tang Clan, and it's lethally addictive. Listen to it once, and realise this: it's good to have them back.

Chris Brown Quote



"While I respect Rihanna's right to discuss the specific events of Feb 8th. I maintain my position that all of the details should remain a private matter between us.  I do appreciate her support and wish her the best.  I am extremely sorry for what I did and I accept accountability for my actions.  At this point I am taking the proper steps to learn about me and grow from my mistakes.  I only hope that others in similar situations can learn from our experience as well.  Abuse of any kind is always wrong."

Alesha says:
It's no secret that I've been a fan of Gary's work for many years. It was a complete honour to write with him and John Shanks. I was excited to see them at work. For me 'To Love Again' was the perfect song to write with Gary.

It is a personal song to me with an emotional connection. Somehow he was able to tap into this and draw it out of me. It's a vulnerable song with the message of hope! This has been a dream come true, more than they'll ever know!

 





Joe 'Majic'


With his 15 years in the scene, Joe has provided music for every moment of life... his music plays the role of the most reliable friend when it comes to a break up, being loved up or even when you just want to party it up! So it was pleasure to lay back and listen to the sounds of his 2009 album 'Signature'. Thankfully with Joe it's not only his smooth looks that have remained the same over time; his soulful, varied yet distinctive sound stays intact.
