Get out your wallets and mark your calendars. The new 7" from Manchester-born vocalist Gizelle Smith comes out on Jalapeno Records this Friday, December 1st.
"Sweet Memories" is ostensibly the A-side as it's listed first, but technically this is a "double A-side release" so "S.T.A.Y." featuring Stones Throw alum Eric Boss has equal billing.
Smith first came to my attention via releases with German act The Mighty Mocambos released on the venerable Legere Recordings and that's apparently where Kenny Dope first picked up on her talent. Wax Poetics debuted the release yesterday and it landed in my inbox this morning. I have listened to "S.T.A.Y." a half-dozen times already and just finished playing it on Cellophane Radio, UMFM's new music program. If you didn't catch it then, do yourself a favour and listen to it now. It's a heartwarming scorcher.
Nope! Gizelle Smith & The Mighty Mocambos were released on German label Mocambo Records (on wax), and Légère Recordings (again German, on digital and CD).
ReplyDeleteThanks for clarifying. Thought I got it via RK. I've updated it to reflect Legere.
ReplyDeleteThanks! RK did put out two 45 singles with Gizelle, but that's it.
