Review: Dropping album number three on Tru Thoughts, Brighton producer Hint cooks up a roller coaster ride of UK bass, dancehall, hip-hop and house on "Daily Intake". Having had Rizzle (of Rizzle Kicks) on his previous LP, Hint this time enlists the soulful and feisty vocals of Natalie Storm on sizzling opener "Crash And Burn", while garage legend Zed Bias weighs in on the joyously bassy "Lock The Door". And on the slower side, Josie Stingray and 1-OAK lend their hip-hop weight to the head-nodding "Give It Up" while T-Fly owns the excellent warped funk and old school MPC swing of "Aliens Enter".

Review: Returning with a second LP, having come through the ranks of the Tru Thoughts stable with her 2010 debut, Canadian/Norwegian singer Kinny makes a big impression with this sampler of her Big Fat Liar LP. Made with Norwegian producers Souldrop, tunes like the playful funk-stomp of title-song "Big Fat Liar" mark her out as a unique artist with a commanding manner at the mic. Slower nu-funk numbers like "You From This Sting" and the unplugged version of "Water For Chocolate" mark her card in a hugely positive way, and should make for an explosive presence in 2012.

Review: Bergen-based Tru Thoughts regular Kinny is an interesting character. An opera singer turned soul chanteuse, she relocated from Canada to Bergen in Norway some years back. She also suffers from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, a condition that helped shape the dark, sometimes bleak lyrical content of this second full-length. For an album with such dark subject matter, it's a surprisingly breezy set. Produced by Norwegian crew Souldrop, Can't Kill A Dame With Soul confidently shuffles between vintage soul, jaunty reggae, hip-hop, R&B and neo-soul, occasionally pausing to deliver a genuine musical curveball (see the inventive cover of the Cure's "The Love Cats").

Review: Omar's Sing If You Want It album, re-issued to much acclaim on Tru Thoughts in July, gets its second single release in the form of the It's So EP, featuring one of its undoubted highlights, the infectious "It's So". It's the diverse remixes that make this EP a must have; Zed Bias' remix of "It's So" turns the original into a bass-driven dancehall inspired bomb, whiles Scratch Professor's remix takes the pace right down, adding a soulful trumpet line which takes the somewhat bumping original into much mellower territory. The EP is rounded off by Mark De Clive-Lowe's neon tinted funk reworking of "Your Mess" which channels the spirit of Prince's 80s material through its fluorescent lens.

Review: Turntablist/hip-hop veteran Scratch Professor has a long history of collaboration with UK soul legend Omar, having first lent a hand on production way back in 1994. Last year, his slinky, hip-hop-soul remix of the singer's "It's So" single was widely heralded as his best work for years (not difficult, mind, since he'd been largely inactive since the tail end of the '90s). On the back of that success, Tru Thoughts have asked him to remix more tracks from the excellent Sing (If You Want It) album. He does a bang-up, job, too offering deep, bumpin', jazzwise hip-hop revisions of "Your Mess", "Sing", "Ghana Emotion" and, most impressively, "Be A Man", which has a real Guru/Jazzmatazz feel.

Review: A sight to cheer for any regular Tru Thoughts follower - a brand new collaboration between veteran producer Will "Quantic" Holland (now bearded and looking very much like a muso version of Eric Cantona) and regular chanteuse Alice Russell. Unlike many of their previous combined outings, Look Around The Corner largely eschews hard-boiled funk and heavy soul in favour of a looser, folksier, more organic sound clearly inspired by Rotary Connection (and in particular the production of Charles Stepney). With Quantic's Cuban backing band, Combo Barbaro, offering solid backing, and Holland himself in the control room, it's an expansive, adventurous and finely crafted album that boasts far more hits than misses.

Review: Taken from the forthcoming album of the same name, Quantic (aka Will Holland), singer and long-term collaborator Alice Russell and Colombian ensemble Combo Barbaro release this elegant taster of sounds to come. A stunning fusion of Charles Stepney's expansive jazz arrangements for Rotary Connection with warm Latin rhythms, it's a simply stunning song even without Russell's gloriously commanding and closely-mic'd vocal. Let's hope the album lives up to this extremely promising first taste.

Review: The first release on Tru Thoughts from actor and rapper Riz MC, "All of You" is a creepy and brilliantly disturbed tune that balances a backing mostly consisting of thick, distorted bass with a fresh vocal that rises and drops in volume and intensity at the drop of a hat, keeping the listener engaged for every second. Having recently ditched soul to get back in touch with his hip-hop roots, Plan B jumps on the remix, while dBridge supplies a remake that keeps itself equally sparse but adds some thumping kicks over the 100bpm tempo.
