Stunning winter sunshine single for NuNorthern Soul sees the combined talents of Faze Action’s Robin Lee along with that of vocalist/ multi instrumentalist Ed Begley fuelling the Balearic fire with two equally gorgeous productions. That is however, if the sounds of Steely Dan plus The Doobie Brothers etc appeal to you. Fortunately they very much do for me and the opening, ‘Lady of the Westway’ spins west-coast lyrics together with bubbling synthesizers and warm harmonies to great effect. As indeed does the shuffling soul of, ‘I’ve Been Around’ which no doubt sounds perfect, horizontal pool-side too.
