Crossed My Mind / You Don’t Get It

Description

Denver Cuss presents her first 7″ single release and her debut with UK independent label LRK Records.

‘Crossed My Mind’ backed with ‘You Don’t Get It’ is out now on streaming services, with the 7″ out on the 27th February. It follows her 2024 album ‘Leaving Me’, which was described as “a nostalgic masterpiece” – Sommer Zeit magazine, earning a feature in Rolling Stone Germany, and a series digital singles, which have been played on the Craig Charles Funk & Soul Show on BB6 Music as well as Noble & Heath’s Soho Radio show.

Denver is an Irish, London-based musician and producer, who makes classic R&B and Soul-influenced music, having graduated as the prize-winning jazz vocalist from the London College Of Music. She has since stepped into a world of live and session singing, alongside her solo project, delving deep into girl-group harmony, Northern Soul and classic Rhythm and Blues.

For this release, she captures the essence of ’60s record-making, working with collaborator/producer PM Warson and engineer Ed Deegan at the all-analogue Gizzard Recording in East London. Backed by some of London’s finest young musicians, she cut her vocal live, bypassing the trend for layered productions and imitation, in favour of a direct, live and soulful approach, direct to tape. The result is two of the most authentic ’60s Pop/Soul sides you’re likely to hear this year.
