Dakota Jones - Heartbreakers Space Club 
Release Date: Out Now
I'm delighted to introduce you to the second album by New Yorkers Dakota Jones and, by the time you've become acquainted, you'll be delighted too. 'Heartbreakers Space Club' gets straight down to business with opening track 'Moon Song' which is a real force of nature as the vocals are delivered with unblinking determination and a snarling guitar line making this the perfect set opener. The soulful delight of 'Misbehave Me' soothes the initial rage before 'Downtown' hits you between the eyes with the opening lyric of "what the fuck you playing for and who the fuck you staying for?". It's quite the opening trio of songs and it leaves you wanting more which is lucky, because there is much, much more.
'Call It Off' is a super chilled piece of soul that rolls and sways seductively until recent single 'Sugar Pie' brings the funk courtesy of a phat bass line and some organs that like to go for a walk. The drum roll that shuffles us in to 'Feel Something' ushers in a song of serenity and peace with those wondrous vocals front and centre. 'DissentNGin' is less than two minutes of semi-spoken, semi-rapped eroticism in a heady jazz inspired whirl that sets us up for 'Break It Down' does just that and brings a real morning-after-the-night-before luxuriousness to your day.
The penultimate track, 'Scared', is an intense steam train of a song that feels like layers of anxiety and worries piling up ready to be released when that pulsating beat finally gives up. The musical orgy comes to a head on 'Countdown' which repeatedly takes us from six to one in a whirl of romance, fizzing hormones and butterflies both inside and outside your stomach. The whole album is an absolute rush of emotions and in an increasingly sterile world that can only be a good thing.
