Recording under his Raw Essence alias, Dave Lee teams up with Lifford on Do It Again – a soaring soul cut and the second single to be released from his forthcoming album Produced With Love II.

Dave Lee has been one of the UK’s foremost champions of vocal house music and soul for decades, collaborating with acclaimed vocalists and instrumentalists and amassing a hugely impressive discography along the way. A man of many monikers, Lee’s latest single lands under his Raw Essence alias: one that neatly encapsulates the appeal of this timeless slice of soul.

Do It Again is a pure, unfiltered delight: a song so resolutely ecstatic and flawlessly produced its enough to make you weep with joy. Vocals are provided by former Public Demand and Artful Dodger member and longtime champion of UKG and soulful house Lifford, whose silky voice transports you to a time when outfits were unashamedly flamboyant and “funky” had yet to become a dirty word.

Included on the single package is a remix from LAZYWAX, the musical project of Hans Müller and Wolfgang Schneider. Their reinterpretation adds bright chords and an electro-inspired bassline, transforming the organic warmth of the original into an icy, cool-as-hell banger.

During the 35 years of making music, Dave Lee has constantly been searching for new singers and writers to work with. A search that’s ended up with many fantastic collaborations and releases with the likes of Thelma Houston, Taka Boom, Dianne Charlemagne and Seal. More recently this quest led him to Maurissa Rose and the creation of their album ‘London / Detroit’. After hearing Maurissa's voice on a Theo Parrish record Dave reached out to her and after a few long phone conversations and mp3 swaps, they both agreed a visit to London would be much more fun than trying to work together remotely. Maurissa made the journey from her home in Detroit to write and record an album with Dave at his studio in March 2022 - as they both feel that creating music together in the same room is always better. The fruits of their labour yielded 11 brand new songs (and 1 cover) tapping into their collective love of Soul, Disco and R&B, with a sprinkle of Soulful House. This album is a special one for Dave Lee as it’s the first time in his career he’s recorded an entire album with the same singer on every track.

In the album’s liner notes Dave talks of how Maurissa is a naturally creative person, full of ideas, warm & unpretentious which is reflected in her vocal performances throughout ‘London / Detroit’. Dave’s expertly crafted music is backed up with a deeply passionate yet effortless delivery from the Detroiter, a marker of someone who has honed and perfected their art. When it comes to the music side of this LP, Dave Lee is once again proving he’s still at the top of his game and shows no sign of relenting. Drawing from his encyclopaedic knowledge of all things Soul/Funk/Disco, we are treated to a range of styles, BPMs and influences from 95bpm street soul to more uptempo disco and boogie flavours. Be it the rippling synth voyage opener of ‘You Decide’, taking the Johnnie Taylor classic ‘What About My Love’ into a modern Boogie realm, upping the tempo on the soulful houser ‘I Feel the Sun” or bringing the tempo back down to the bassy acidic chug of ‘You’re Giving Me Life’. Mr Lee is truly adept at creating a modern disco soul sound without the usage of samples.

London and Detroit might be two very different cities on opposite sides of the Atlantic but this album is proof that creative synergy knows no distance.
