Herbert - Stop

A slowburner with a big payoff from 'The Shakes', Matthew Herbert's first dance album in nine years.

Matthew Herbert is returning in June with new album 'The Shakes', his first full-length record of dance music in nine years. Every week between now and the album's release date, Herbert has been releasing a new music video from the album.

Here we have Stop, which brings together a lot of Herbert's guises over the years: you get his sound experiments, his dance rhythms, his big band work, and his leftfield pop a la 'One One'. It's a slow burner, but its steady buildup pays off in a big way. Vocals come from Ade Omotayo, previously a backing singer with Amy Winehouse who you might've heard more recently on Kindness's album 'Otherness'.
