Sinkane previews new album with ‘How We Be’

Ahmed Gallab was last found cooing and crooning his way into hyperspace, with the hot-and-heated ‘Hold Tight’. Taken from his forthcoming second solo record, ‘Mean Love’ (out this September on City Slang), plush organs and windswept vocals came back with sax in a concoction unlike anything the New Yorker had ever put his name to.

‘How We Be’ doesn’t fall back on routine, but it does see Gallab giving a brief look back to earlier material. Dressed up with a funk edge, it’s a sweet, synth-spliced reminder that this guy can do pretty much anything he wants while pulling it off.

This weekend, Sinkane forms part of the supergroup ‘Atomic Bomb: Who Is William Onyeabor?’, who open the Obelisk Arena at Latitude Festival, Saturday 19th July.
