She’s the unmistakable voice that moves your spirit and shakes your soul… the one and only Kathy Brown is back, and baby, she’s burnin’ up the floor once again. After blessing us with soulful stompers like “Ooh What A Life”, “Touch Me”, “Good Inside”, and “So Into You”, Kathy joins forces once more with UK groove maestro, Sonic Soul Orchestra, on a fire starter of a track called “Need You.” Kathy brings that deep-down, gospel-rooted, heart-full-of-fire vocal that only she can deliver. Her voice soars, struts, and testifies over a funky, keys-heavy groove from SSO that’s got that old-school soul heartbeat with a new-school house shine. Sliding in smooth is longtime collaborator Ricky Morrison, lending his signature S.K.O.D. edit, stripping it back and letting that infectious groove punch right through.
