Sweet Freaks

The Brand New Heavies, whose debut album hit stores in 1990, have truly stood the test of time. The eleven tracks featured on the quartet's tenth studio album Sweet Freaks are just the latest proof of that full of irresistible grooves, well thought-out melodies and as much lively energy and enthusiasm as on any of their highly successful early outings. Everything came together in a comparable short time span of less than four months. And that included writing, arranging, recording, as well as mixing the entire disc by themselves.

An important part of what makes this album so lively as well as classy and all around enjoyable is The Brand New Heavies voice, provided by the beautiful and wonderful Dawn Joseph. The Jersey born singer debuted on 2013's Forward, still sharing vocal duties with the band's original lead singer N Dea Davenport. Since then Joseph has come into her own in a big way. Just listen to her go on tracks like 'In the Name of Love', 'Self Portrait' or 'Get On'. Hers is a self-assured, powerful and also immensely versatile voice.

The album's title song Sweet Freeek makes clear what the album is all about: irresistible melodies that get stuck to your head for days to come. The album doesn't lose any of the band's trademark sound but spikes it up with fresh, crispy grooves. In other words: it's full of tunes which your head simply can't resist to bob along to.

The band feels the same way: 'We, The Brand New Heavies, are very excited to be releasing our new album with new singer and amazing gift Dawn Joseph who appeared out of a dream. It's freeeky, but Sweet - We hope you love it.'
