The Brand New Heavies revisit their seminal 1994 album ‘Brother Sister’ for its 30 year anniversary. Replete with groove-driven, horn-splashed, hand-clapping funk, ‘Brother Sister’ saw the band dig deep into their jazz grooves, with N’Dea Davenport in full flight as diva / lead vocalist.
The 2CD edition features rarities and classic remixes from the likes of David Morales, Roger Sanchez and a newly commissioned rework of ‘Back To Love’ by Luke Mornay.
Featuring some of their best loved songs including the chart hits ‘Midnight at the Oasis’, ‘Dream on Dreamer’, and ‘Spend Some Time’, Brother Sister debuted in the UK charts at #4 and went onto be a hit worldwide, the band rightly claiming their crown as Acid Jazz heavyweights, delivering knock-out punch after punch on this album.
Also included on the 2CD and digital versions are two newly uncovered demos, ‘Pocketful of Bass’ and an alternate demo of ‘Put Yourself In My Shoes’, with vocals by N’dea Davenport.
Freshly remastered, the 2LP vinyl edition features three bonus tracks, and is pressed onto one black and one white vinyl LP.
The band will celebrate ‘Brother Sister’ live with dates around the UK this November and December and a headlining performance at the Royal Albert Hall in 2025.
