Michael The Lion / Amy Douglas Michael The Lion X Amy Douglas
Michael The Lion and Amy Douglas, hot off the success of the anthemic "Get It On" re-join forces for an EP that's a road trip through American funk and soul music. Lead single "Find A Way," already conquering dance floors since it's release in November, features Moon Boots collaborator Steven Klavier, whose lilting tones marry flawlessly with Amy's power on a maximalist disco cut, which garnered a 9/10 rating in Mixmag. "James Is The Message" is a fat slab of NOLA fonk that tells the story of one hell of an evening in Bywater. "Social Love Song" is a gospel shuffle to remind all of the importance of self love and then loving your fellow man. Drink You Up is a naughty piece of disco celebrating the freedom of a purely "no strings" policy. A cover of Gil Scott-Heron and Brian Jackson's "Willing," serves as the perfect denouement. With a fantastic live band alongside Amy's piano duties and multi-instrumentalist Michael, this EP is a choice and heartfelt slice of life and disco purism.
