Looking for something really uplifting to get you through this miserable autumn? Well, may we point you to a truly “up” new tune from the LONDON COMMUNITY GOSPEL CHOIR (LCGC). Their track is a wonderful and optimistic ‘Rather Be’ delivered in a remix by producer/DJ, Ayce.
If you don’t know, LCGC is a regarded as Europe’s premier contemporary Gospel choir. Their sound seamlessly blends Soul, Funk, House and R&B while maintaining a powerful message of God’s love, peace, and unity through their refreshing and vibrant take on Gospel music. The collective have already shared stages with people like Elton John, Madonna, Sam Smith, Ellie Goulding, Jessie J, Adele, Gorillaz, Blur, Nick Jonas, OneRepublic, Gregory Porter, Justin Timberlake, and Mariah Carey!
The team’s ‘Rather Be’ is everything modern gospel should be – passionate and soulful with an “optimistic” vibe – think prime time Sounds of Blackness (see what we did there!!!). Lead vocal on the track is down to Annette Bowen who’s ably supported by the rest of the ensemble and if we tell you that Reel People’s Oli Lazarus is the A&R behind the track you’ll know we’re talking soul quality! Sadly you’ll need to wait till November 1st to get your hand on this one but your patience will be rewarded. Label is Papa, by the way!
