In December 2013 Lettuce was finishing up what was by all accounts there most fruitful and successful year too date.  They were all gathered in their defacto hometown of  Brooklyn for a week long run at Brooklyn Bowl and their last show of the year at the Capitol Theater. 

Never ones to waste a moment, Lettuce took their time together in December in between shows to record two new original tracks, “Don’t Be Afraid To Try”, which features vocalist Alecia Chakour, and “Yakitori”.  “Don’t Be Afraid To Try” is sure to be a Lettuce staple for years to come, seamlessly blending the Lettuce sound with timeless R&B vocals.  Alecia is currently touring with the band and fitting in perfectly.  “Yakitori” is classic hard-tiiing instrumental Lettuce at its best.  This is the sound that fans have come to expect from the band and “Yakitori” shows that the direction of the bands sound is still pushing funk to new heights!

Lettuce is offering these two singles for FREE through their soundcloud and on limited edition 7 in vinyl.  You can pre-order the vinyl HERE.  The tracks are also up on iTunes now.

It was a special year for the Lettuce collective in which they played huge dates at Bonnaroo, Summer Camp, the Fillmores in Denver and San Francisco and made it to a ton of cities for the first time, always met by eager fans new and old.  Lettuce Spring tour starts tonight at the Roxy in LA and rolls on through April 6.  The band then will celebrate Jazzfest at their Annual Royal Family Ball before a monster schedule of high profile festival appearances.

Diana Brown & Barrie K. Sharpe were the act behind the early 1990s music style of groundbeat, an acid jazz / rare groove offshoot, that had its roots in the London area and old soul vinyl record shops.

The duo first came to attention in the late 1980s, signing to London Records dance offshoot label, ffrr. They released singles such as "The Masterplan", "Love or Nothing" and "The Sun Worshippers (Positive Thinking)", as well as the album, The Black, The White, The Yellow and The Brown.

ENIGMATIC – I Love the Mystery of You v. FUNKY By Paploviante: Music & Title w/Reidmoto collab

Verse 1
I’m always listening more closely than it seems.
Hoping for clues, to uncover a common theme.
Who is the REAL you? What’s your burning passion?
What  revs your motor and inspires you to action?

Verse  2
It’s like doing  a million piece jigsaw puzzle with no
locking pieces, have to rely on my eye muscle
Or like a Rubrics Cube with 12 sides.
So many moves, how will I decide?

Pre-Chorus
I love, the enigmatic riddle of you.
I wish I had a schematic to get a little clue.              

Chorus
I love the mystery of you! 
Your rich history excelling in all you do.
Loving you is like racing Daytona!
Exhilarating speeds, high-banked curves.
More woman than I ever dreamed I deserved. 

Verse 3
You excel at STEM and picking Crypto winners.
But you think that’s boring stuff for beginners.
You’ve read so much lit. you could be an LLM.
You’ve said you read to combat boredom, 
But you really don’t enjoy ‘em.

Bridge
I’m going to stop trying to solve you like a riddle.
I’m a curious fellow, not trying to play you like a fiddle
You have the alluring, power of the deep blue sea.
Beneath the surface, beautiful mysteries.

Pre-Chorus
I love, the enigmatic Riddle of you.
I wish I had a schematic to get a little clue.              

Chorus
I love the mystery of you! 
Your rich history excelling in all you do.
Loving you is like racing Daytona!
Exhilarating speeds, high-banked curves.
More woman than I ever dreamed I deserved. 

Final Chorus
I love the mystery of you! 
Your rich history excelling in all you do.
Loving you is like racing Daytona!
Exhilarating speeds, high-banked curves.
More woman than I ever dreamed I deserved.
