Search - Bluefoot Project :: Brave

Astonishing UK live urban act The Bluefoot Project launch their long awaited debut album "Brave" on Chocolate Fireguard. Once in a while, a voice comes along to knock you sideways. That voice belongs to Rachel Modest. Finishing some of her work here "with child", her lyrical observations have a timeless, deep rooted spirituality sadly lacking in most contemporary "soul influenced" music. Her tone, melody and rich vocal harmonies contrive some of the most beautiful and truly soulful utterances you may be privileged to hear all year. Brave is the long awaited debut album from West Yorkshire?s rising stars "The Bluefoot Project" Straight to the point and distinctly urban, the band who are reputedly named after Leeds City Centre?s "ladies of the night " prove their song writing superiority over the rest of the pack. The band kick out a cool live soul with deep grooves over lush sample based technologies. Seasoned through appearances in club venues and festivals in the UK and Eire (already including Glastonbury 2000, 2002, 2003) live drums (Chris), bass and guitars (Matt), Ian (bass), James (DJ), Ilana (backing vocals) produce clever, but airy song structures with enough space to let Rachel?s nebulous vocal experience shine through. "Oova" (MC) is the perfect compliment, bringing with him a dry, street, down to earth perspective " satisfied with the xxxxxx I?m using, satisfied with the food, satisfied with my broken computer...." Brave is set to capitalize on the success of their debut Observations EP (also on Chocolate Fireguard) which hurdled the likes of Jill Scott and Jamiroquai to the sureplayer slot in DJ mag and to consolidate The Bluefoot Project?s reputation as one of the UK?s most original and exciting live club acts and Rachel Modest as one of the greatest singers of the last ten years.
