Sola Rosa is one of New Zealand’s music’s most evolutionary and
enduring acts.
With seven full-length albums, four EPs, a handful of hits, countless
collaborations and numerous world tours, it’s been a near 20-year labour of
love for the man behind the music, Andrew
Spraggon.
The Auckland-based music-maker is now poised to take the next steps in the Sola Rosa journey with
an upcoming EP that sits firmly in the realms of electronic and synth. He has
already given fans a taste of what’s to come with the stonking beat-heavy track So Fly,
featuring British singer Kevin
Mark Trail (The Streets), released towards the end of 2016.
Now, comes the latest Sola
Rosa single Back
To You, which features the soulful and haunting vocals of
Berlin-based Kiwi singer Noah
Slee.
Also featuring on the track is keyboard player Michal Martyniuk (Nathan Haines) and
guitarist Dixon Nacey (Sola Rosa, King Kapisi, Tama Waipara). Final mix duties were done by Andy Morton (Fat
Freddy’s Drop, Mark de Clive-Lowe, Che Fu) and it was mastered by Kelly Hibbert at
Almachrome (J Dilla, Aloe Blacc, Flying Lotus).
With a synth heavy undercurrent that floats along to a pulsating half-time drum
and bass beat, Back To
You is yet another cracking tune, which is in keeping with Sola Rosa’s long-standing
reputation of pushing further into new musical territories.
Back To You is released worldwide on Friday March 24.
