Review:
Veteran modern soul, jazz and funk peddlers, Tru Thoughts, have done it again with this new release from their in-house iron-lunged warbler, Alice Russell. Teeming with soul and exploding with passion, "Heartbreaker" sounds like some raw funk act's live cover of a lost Mary J. Blige jam. This results in the tune sounding like both a whiskey-weathered old classic and a shiny modern cut, pretty much the label's raison d'etre. FaltyDL converts it into understated glacial garage, Yakine go for brittle, almost broken, beat soul and there's even an acoustic live version if you just want the meat and potatoes!

Review:
Following collaborations with Quantic and a selection of teaser singles, Tru Thoughts' resident belter finally drops her long awaited solo LP. Alongside the previously released "Heartbreaker" and 'Twin Peaks", we get a further 12 slices of her whiskey-weathered modern soul. Highlights include the call & response of "A-Z", the staccato-hop of "For A While" and the melancholic title track, "To Dust".

Review:
Known as a fierce collector of hip-hop, funk soul and much more, DJ Chris Read has not only represented 1Xtra but has also curated compilations for BBE in the past. That weight of musical knowledge passes nicely into his studio work, as this latest double-tracker for Breakin' Bread shows. With afrobeat to the fore, "Sons D'Afrique" is an addictive mix of beats, boogie bass, African guitar licks and billowing brass, with a simple joyous vocal and chant wafting gently through the tune. "Dub D'Afrique" as you'd expect breaks out the echo effects for a deeper and driving alternative which makes great use of a floating flute part as well as some fine bass and drum work.
