Brand New Heavies – Forward (Album Stream)

The Brand New Heavies mark their momentous return with Forward, their first studio album since the 2006 LP Get Used To It. The project – scheduled to drop on May 21st – is lead by the single “Sunlight” and a massive amount of anticipation from fans who have been longing for a renaissance of the soul revival cemented by the acid jazz pioneers during 90s. With Forward, the Brand New Heavies mark a return to their signature sound, despite a changing of the guard that finds Dawn Joseph taking over lead vocals for N’Dea Davenport – the powerhouse songstress some consider the voice of the ‘Heavies. Though she has reportedly relinquished the captain’s chair, Davenport does appear on a few tracks while Joseph commences to putting her foot in the remaining joints.
