There’s such a vast library of music out there that it could take a hundred lifetimes to hear it all. While part of me wishes I had all the time in the world to listen to every single artist who would otherwise slip past my radar, I feel like that would somewhat diminish the joy of discovery. Half the fun of finding something special is knowing that it could have easily slipped through your fingers. Though most of my time is spent championing up and coming artists, often my most thrilling discoveries come from hearing an established act for the first time. Up until now, powerhouse soul ensemble St. Paul & The Broken Bones have managed to pass me by like a ship in the night, but upon hearing ‘Sitting In The Corner’ it feels like I’m just now stumbling upon a band that I was always destined to meet. Those soaring soulful vocals, the rich brass arrangement and sumptuous strings, the boundless energy of the drum beats – it’s just divine. Where has this band been all my life? You’re telling me I have half a dozen records of this splendour to dive into? Marvellous!
