Review: Ace Records are she-pop experts who have kept a constant stream of high quality offerings from the 1960s coming. Featuring mostly British and American artists the label now widens its net to serve up a pair of high impact tunes from their well-received Ciao Bella! Italian Girl Singers Of The 1960s compilation CD. Brunetta's 'Baluba Shake' has big and cavernous drums, plucked guitar riffs and rollicking great chords next to lung-busting vocals. It's a real dancer. Things get more impassioned on the high speed funk chase that is Rita Pavone's 'Il Geghege.'
Review: Darron Robinson is a former frontman of London's Mod 'n' Soul group The Sha La La's and has been delivering impressive solo material with his latest double A-side single on Detour Records being his most uplifting yet. 'Ready Your Love (Be Happy)' and 'This Time I Can't Lose' embody the hopeful lyrics, energy and attitude that have become synonymous with Darron's writing. His skill as a songsmith continues to shine and has caught the attention of legendary Northern Soul DJ Richard Searling and BBC 6 Music's Craig Charles, who both featured his track 'When Love Comes' on their shows.
