Sinkane announces ‘Mean Love’ album, shares ‘Hold Tight’

Ahmen Gallab aka Sinkane has announced details for his second full-length, ‘Mean Love’.

2012 debut ‘Mars’ was a scatterbrained introduction, coloured with a million different shades. Its follow-up promises to be just as beat driven, but ‘Mean Love’’s lead track ‘Hold Tight’ sees in a significant shift.

The new track’s picking up comparisons to Sade and Rhye left, right and centre - there’s a definite slickness to it, with warm organs backing up a heated-up melodrama.

Damon Albarn and David Byrne are among the guests on the new record, which also features members of LCD Soundsystem and Blood Orange.
