My Prediction For 2006
On February 20th 2006 OneTwo Records present Barefoot’s self titled debut album – an inspired collection of reinterpreted club classics in a quirky, jazzy style that highlights quality songs often overlooked in their original form.
The highly anticipated album showcases the act’s inimitable talent for putting a distinct spin on the arrangement and mood of dance favourites – Barefoot have managed to pay homage to much loved tunes while truly making them their own. A double A-side single featuring favourites ‘It’s Like That’ and ‘Hideaway’ will be released on March 6th to support the album. Already receiving substantial press, specialist radio and club support (via two limited edition 7”s and a CD sampler), the project has been building a head of steam for the past 6 months since Pete Tong first gave the Barefoot take on ‘White Lines’ his stamp of approval. Since then, he has selected the record as his Album Of The Month in his Mixmag column as well as featuring it on his Fastrax show for 3 Mobile. It was in fact a stripped down performance from Barefoot front woman Sam Obernik of the Tim Deluxe hit ‘It Just Won’t Do’ (on which she provided vocals) for Jo Whiley’s Live Lounge on Radio One that provided the initial inspiration for the Barefoot concept and sound. Teaming up with legendary producer Tommy D, the pair set about bridging the gap between the dance world and more conventional musicianship and song writing – the result is a collection of tracks which bubble with energy, invention and fun. The aim to reconnect people with classic songs which have inevitably become associated more with euphoric club moments than their lyrical and musical merits has been well and truly fulfilled. A coveted 4Play slot on Channel 4 is confirmed for the new year, as is a Maida Vale session for Radio One. Other key radio support has already come from Annie Nightingale (Radio One), Eddie Temple Morris (XFM) and Dermot O’Leary (Radio Two). Add to that a slew of live gigs, where the Barefoot sound really comes alive, and coverage from titles as diverse as DJ, Blues & Soul, Timeout, The Daily Mail, Empire, Attitude, The Daily Star and many more, and there can be no doubt that the Barefoot star is rapidly ascending. Tracklisting White Lines Pride Gypsy Woman Born Slippy It’s Like That Ain’t No Love (Ain’t No Use) It Just Won’t Do Days Go By Horny Lazy Do it to the Music Hideaway you can listen to some of the songs on the website http://www.barefootbarefoot.com Im really excited for this
