Colors (Hypnotic Brass) b/w Sugar Man

Colors (feat. Hypnotic Brass Ensemble)

As heard in season 1, episode 14 of FOX'S ROSEWOOD!

The Meltdown. It’s a bold, brassy, twangy steam train of bumping backbeats and swinging shuffles. Then there’s that voice. Sweet as honey. The voice is soul, but it’s country too and something else indefinable; like you heard it before but don’t know where… Introducing Better Days, The Meltdown’s first release on HopeStreet Recordings.

There’s a fair chance you haven’t heard that voice before, because for the last few years Simon Burke has been flying small planes out of small airfields in the dusty backcountry and taking refuge from the hustle and grind of the music business to raise a young family. The time off has been fruitful. A lifetime of writing and experience is condensed into a golden set of songs and a killer new band, The Meltdown, which Simon formed in collaboration with saxophonist and arranger Lachlan McLean. Great vibe, great players, great sound, but it’s the songs that are king here.

There are a lot of soul revival bands around, but the Meltdown’s angle is different  – Simon and Lachlan are both pretty country and The Meltdown has more than a bit of that Ray Charles country via gospel thing, and a taste of dirty blues in it too. Echoes of towns like Euroa and Avenel, where the boys blew in from, or just artistic license? Either way, if there’s one thing that soul and country can both do for you, it’s songs about heartbreak, so here’s some rippers. Ladies and gentlemen, let us introduce to you the inimitable voice and songwriting of Mr Simon Burke. And yes, in advance, you’re welcome.

Grandma's hands
Clapped in church on Sunday morning
Grandma's hands
Played a tambourine so well…

Black Hole Heart

Your eyes they hide a universe deep
A galaxy where secrets sleep
I search for answers in your face
But every smile leaves empty space

You're a black hole heart pulling me in
A love so heavy I can't begin
I orbit close yet drift away
In your silence I lose my day

Your words they echo walls of stone
I try to breach but I’m on my own
You’re here beside me yet not near
You’re the shadow of my fear

You're a black hole heart pulling me in
A love so heavy I can't begin
I orbit close yet drift away
In your silence I lose my day

Teach me the rhythm of your soul
Unravel the threads you tightly hold
How can I touch what I can’t see
Or love the ghost you left for me 

You're a black hole heart pulling me in
A love so heavy I can't begin
I orbit close yet drift away
In your silence I lose my day

Teach me the rhythm of your soul
Unravel the threads you tightly hold
How can I touch what I can’t see
Or love the ghost you left for me

Labi Siffre - I Got The

It is our distinct pleasure to present: Miss Sharon Jones! OST. The film, directed by two-time Academy Award winner, Barbara Kopple, follows the dynamic front-woman through her 2013 battle with cancer and her triumphant return to the stage around the release of Give The People What They Want.

The soundtrack, featuring the exclusive song "I'm Still Here", boasts a selection of Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings classics ranging from her early singles on Daptone, to tracks from the band's 2014 release - Give the People What They Want.  Much like the film, the soundtrack gives you an intimate, candid look into the life of a woman who refuses to be defined by the challenges she faces. The perfect accompaniment to a truly extraordinary film. Stay tuned this summer for the Miss Sharon Jones! theatrical release brought to you by Starz digital.

Ella Fitzgerald - Too Darn Hot (RAC Mix)

Where is the purpose in your life
Where is the truth
Do you remember your hopes Your dreams
They are no longer your own
This day is for living your own life
Don't let this world capture your heart
Your passion lost to a thousand themes
Surrendered to the screen
This is not a story
This is not a book this is your life
And this is not a play
Some TV show you've seen
This is real life
