Soopasoul – Hot & Cold / Hustlin (7″) [Jalapeno Records 2009]

‘Hot & Cold’ is a floor-shuffling, hip-swaying, jazz funk party monster packed with Hammond slaying, funky beats and some hefty brass action. ‘Hot & Cold’ features a mind blowing soul-sista vocal from Brighton belle Dionne Charles who oozes with as much soul as greats such as Lyn Collins and Marva Whitney! On the flip, Soopasoul turns out the nu-funk extravaganza ‘Hustlin’, a Blaxploitation-esque gem, riddled with booty shakin funky breaks and an infectious retro brass hook.
