Easy Ain't Nothin

OH GAWD

Introducing Sola Rosa!

Kiwi soul is on the rise and we are happy to welcome Sola Rosa as our latest signing from down under. Back home in NZ, the band, lead by mastermind Andrew Spraggon is already a household name with their trademark mix of soul, reggae, hip-hop and whatnot. Call it modern day roots music if you like. Extremely well produced and catchy as a Holland/Dozier/Holland tune. Occasionally backed by a string quartet but with creaking basslines at the low ends. Mic duties are handled by an international ensemble of singers, chatters and MC's like Spikey Tee, Iva Lamkum, Bajka and Serocee.

On July 29, we release the first single „Turn Around“ featuring the wonderful Iva Lamkum. The album „Get It Together“ follows on September 30.

We celebrate the good news with a free download of the instrumental title track of the album. Enjoy and share how you like!

SOLA ROSA - Get It Together

A. Joyce - Aldeia de Ogum
AA. Rosinha da Valencia - Summertime - 7"

Rio born Joyce Moreno is one of the most famous names in Brazilian music. Her career has spanned more than 20 albums over 40 years and she continues to record and tour the world.

Aldeia de Ogum is one of her most well known songs. An anthem amongst DJs and dancers in the Acid Jazz days in London, regularly featuring at clubs such as Dingwalls.

Originally features on her sought after 'Feminina' LP from 1980, it also appears on the 'Essential' compilation that we released in 1997. This is the first time the track has been released on 7" however.
 

Rosinha was a highly acclaimed composer, arranger and guitarist who played with legends including Baden Powell, Sérgio Mendes and Sivuca. Sadly she passed away in 2004.

'Summertime' is taken from her 1975 RCA LP entitled 'Um Violão Em Primeiro Plano'. This is the first time the track has been released on 7".

Little Man (Jeremy Sole Live remake) (041614 rough mix)

This autumn, Wah Wah 45s are very proud to present their latest signing, an outfit who've garnered huge praise from Jools Holland, are darlings of The Guardian's music reviews pages, and have set festivals alight up and down the country with their unique melange of sounds.
For a good few years, Honeyfeet has been a conduit for the ideas and expressions of an exotic mixture of Manchester based musicians. 

Jazz? Yes, some of that! Folk? Stick that in there! Hip-hop? I thought you'd never ask! Someone once called it Folk-Hop and Barrelhouse-pop, and that's just vague enough to make sense.

It helps that they are fronted by Ríoghnach Connolly, Real World's newest signing and "a remarkable singer and flautist who...can ease from Irish traditional influences to soul" (The Guardian).

This extraordinary band's debut single for Wah Wah 45s, Sinner, was originally affectionately known as Boingy Squelch, after the unconventional sounds trombonist Biff Roxby used in his early demos. 

Ríoghnach conveys the story of a woman who never intends on staying at home "chained to the sink" - "I may be a sinner, but I'm not a slave". In that way, the song is a rejection of outdated, traditional roles.

Since their previous album, 2013's It's a Good Job I Love You, keyboardist John Ellis jumped on board as full-time member, bringing his unique musical presence. This enabled the development of a more texturally adventurous style, as witnessed with the dual atonal solo between himself and guitarist Ellis Davies on Sinner. Similarly, for their next LP, Orange Whip, engineer, bassist and spiritual guide Lorien Edwards makes his Honeyfeet recording debut, so completing the "kitchen" of this very special band.

Sinner is released on October 20th and comes complete with a woozy, low slung club-friendly mix from former Innocent Sorcerer, Polish DJ and producer Envee.

The album, Orange Whip, will be released on Wah Wah 45s in the summer of 2018.
