Soul Grenades – “Suga Mama”

Based in London, this 9-piece multi-national funk-soul collective has been electrifying the live scene and the festival circuit since 2011. Featuring a super-tight rhythm section and a wall of brass, they’ve played renowned venues including The Jazz Café and The Albert Hall, as well as festivals such as Manchester Jazz Festival and The Great Estate. They’ve also supported artists like Sister Sledge, Geno Washington and George Clinton. They debuted with “Tongue Ain’t Got No Bone” in 2016.

Teasing their upcoming album “Raw Pleasure”, expected on June 6th, their new single is definitely tickling our funky bone. Immediately kicking it into high gear with an insatiable rhythm, fiery horns and vibrant Hammond organ, they create a powerhouse dance-floor filler. With some whimsical lyrics adding a bit of humour, even reaching to an unexpected rap bridge, it’s the cheeky vocals of James Follette that infuse this blazing groove with some red-hot, high-spirited sassiness.
