Product Description
In 1999, this London dance duo released "Vertigo", which made the British Top 20 and achieved silver status. They followed this success with a stint as Elton John's opening band. An album of remixes followed, featuring post-productions by DJ Icey and Tim "Love" Lee. After releasing a mix album, "Back to Mine", the duo returned with a second production effort, 2001's "Goodbye Country (Hello Nightclub)". Two years later, "Lovebox" highlighted a new kind of funk for GA, with kitschy vibes and collaborative efforts coming from Neneh Cherry, Nappy Roots, and R&B chanteuse Sunshine Anderson. "Soundboy Rock" continues the emphasis on catchy hooks and became the fourth straight GA album to reach the British Top Ten.

Oscillating between dancehall, disco, drum 'n' bass, and downtempo, Groove Armada consistently includes something from each style on their discs, and Soundboy Rock is no exception. The CD's kickoff single "Get Down" definitely falls into the dancehall category, bringing with it a rapid-fire Jamaica-meets-Trinidad carnival vibe that will excite some, but might turn off those who prefer their less frenetically paced tracks. Rest assured that Soundboy Rock is filled with lush numbers as well, most notably "What's Your Version" featuring underappreciated alt-folk vocalist Jeb Loy Nicols. The disco quotient is achieved with the inclusion of '70s dance queen Candi Staton's vocals on the retro dance number "Love Sweet Sound." As is often the case with Groove Armada, there is one absolute standout track that showcases the duo's ability to create timeless dance radio classics (a la "I See You Baby" from 2000's Vertigo.) In this case, "Song 4 Mutya," featuring up-and-coming dance pop charmer Mutya Buena, is about as endorphin-creating as a great pop song can get, garnering that feat by seamlessly mixing new wave with soul and pop. Soul music fans take note: The limited edition version of Soundboy Rock contains Angie Stone's vocals on the bonus track "Feel The Same As You." --Denise Sheppard
