A. "Warm"
B. "If The Feeling Is Right"
Press play on Beverley Skeete’s ’Warm' and a wave of evocative, vivid
images of sultry, sun-kissed summer days will wash over you.
'Warm' is UK street-soul / electronic boogie at its finest. An infectious
groove that features an amazing vocal performance invites you to fall in
love. Beverley Skeete is an under-the-radar talent and you only need to dip
into the sheer number of productions she has been involved with to see the
pedigree of her artistry. It includes working with superstars such as Tina
Turner, Chaka Khan, Bronski Beat, Elton John, Boy George, and Maxi
Priest, to name just a few. She was also the vocalist for the 90s global
house hit 'Passion' by Gat Decor. Beverley continues to work in music to
this day and, in 2021, released her most recent album, 'Liberty’.
'Warm' was Beverly's third solo single for the fabled UK record label Elite.
Released in 1985, it was produced by the stellar underground production
team of A Sojka / de Jongh Production. This duo is better known as Andy
Sojka (Atmosfear, 3rd Army, et al) and Richard de Jongh. Elite was set up
by Sojka in 1979 and was a hotbed for underground UK talent that often
became staples of the most discerning US dancefloors too. 'Warm' and the
equally remarkable soulful-dancer 'If The Feeling Is Right' are lesser-known
jams from the label’s catalogue, but they have rightfully been championed
by the diggers and collectors, and what beauties they are!
