The leading band of London’s acid jazz scene, The Brand New Heavies have translated their love of sophisticated 70s funk grooves into an evolving danceable sound that has endured for over 30 years.
The Brand New Heavies made their recorded debut near the end of the 1980s and thrived throughout the 90s, powered by vocalists N’Dea Davenport, Siedah Garrett, and Carleen Anderson.
The Brand New Heavies’ first full decade was marked by the platinum UK Top Ten albums ‘Brother Sister’ and ‘Shelter’ and 15 UK Top 40 singles.
Although a knowing throwback approach is an outstanding aspect of their appeal, and they emerged during an era when hip-hop started to overtake R&B, The Brand New Heavies have remained contemporary. 35 years since the release of their debut single and with a legacy spanning decades, 2023 saw The Brand New Heavies back on tour with their greatest hits, Never Stop…The Best Of.
