For Stereo:type’s new release, Sonic Soul Orchestra joins forces with vocalist Brian Lucas on ‘Break 4 Grace’, a nostalgic slice of uplifting house, that gives a nod to both Raze and C&C Music Factory.
Powered by punchy jackin’ beats and catchy synth hooks, ‘Break 4 Grace’ is a fresh take on Raze’s classic ‘Break 4 Love’ single, re-vocalled by Brian Lucas and creatively Moulinexed with elements of C&C Music Factory’s mix of Grace Jones’ ‘Love On Top Of Love’ to great effect! Also on the package is a potent edit from SKOD (aka Ricky Morrison), who brings his playful edge to this gloriously retro yet contemporary slice of House Music.
