Anotha funky sista
You know another favorite genre around here that got criminally neglected during Blog-achella? The Broken Beat goodness...
... and today we right that with a three-nation collabo, featuring Nicole Willis & The Soul Investigators (she's from Brooklyn, they're from Finland, where funk bands are a dime a dozen) remixed by London's Afronaught, one of the members of the mighty Bugz In The Attic crew. Now this Nicole Willis is flying under the radar a bit, but she should be in the same conversations as Sharon Jones, because she brings the same retro Soul/Funk heat, albeit with a bit less baaaaadass-ness. That's not a slam, it's just that there ain't no sista as baaaaadass as Sharon Jones right now. But enough with the chit-chat...
... but of course that remix isn't going to demonstrate my Sharon Jones comparison very well, so here's some YouTubes of the un-remixed Nicole...
... so now you see what I'm talkin' bout, eh? Good.
