Jo Stance

Fresh to the import racks this week is Jo Stance's debut 7”, Hey Girl!, a contemporary take on sweet Chicago soul featuring vibraphone for added zest. Along with the Soul Investigators blazing a trail for vintage sounds on modern impulses, this duo are suggesting that Finland might just be some kind of musical mecca for soul fans. An album is ready for release this autumn. Bring it on!

Just bought it. I owe you *again* Mr F.E.T.!

Glad you like it. You can repay your debt by telling me if in any way it sometimes reminds you of I'm Every Woman by Chaka Khan or if, in fact, that's crazy talk.

Anon - thanks for clearing that up; I'm Every Woman is there in the song, but only for a very short time.
