Produced by indie-funkster Metronomy, when Rodney Smith heard the basic beat he felt it was "the perfect opportunity for me to get back to my gospel church essence - get back to the old church van, happy clappy blind faith!" As such, it's perhaps the most uplifting piece of music of a remarkable career, already described by the Guardian as "an anthem pitched somewhere near where OutKast might end up if they were produced by Sly & Robbie". <br /><br />The final mix for the radio version of the tune was put together by Paul Epworth (Bloc Party, Kano, Kate Nash etc plus remixes for New Order, U2, P-Diddy and The Streets), who kept the warmth and wonkiness of the original while adding a punch and dynamism which guarantees it sticks in your head after a single listen. <br /><br />http://www.rootsmanuva.co.uk/<br />http://www.myspace.com/rootsmanuva<br /><br />Also check out - <br /><br />BALCONYTV LONDON<br />http://www.balconytv.com/london<br /><br />BALCONYTV HAMBURG<br />http://www.balconytv.com/hamburg<br /><br />Tune in again tomorrow!!!
