This debut, 5-track EP introduces us to the exciting sound of Londoner Nadine Lee (cousin of Theon Cross – featured here on trombone) The upbeat ‘Formula’ is a punchy, positive groove with lyrics speaking about empowerment – grabbing the moment and running with opportunity, something that Nadine does to good effect here while the more mid tempo ‘Better’ is a lovely duet that has folky touches with some lovely live percussion, acoustic guitar and piano running throughout with Nadine’s breathy voice sounding strong and sweet. ‘Special’ has a jazzy Latin swagger driven along by an urgent b-line and complemented by some incisive horns, the down-tempo ‘Unfinished’ again carries a strong message while this brief but highly promising introduction to Nadine Lee’s sound concludes with the bouncy, funky ‘Contagious’ with those horns again zipping in and out. Really good stuff and at the time of writing we’re the only store to carry this. An honour indeed!

What an excellent project. The minute I put this cd on in the car my spirit was lifted!! I really went through a journey of emotions as I listened to the lyrics. I think there’s enough variety to appeal to most tastes. Can’t wait to see her Live.
