RECORD OF THE WEEK: DELE SOSIMI AFROBEAT ORCHESTRA – TOO MUCH INFORMATION – REMIXES (INNERVISIONS 62)

Hearing this for first time at the Innervisions Lost In A Moment party back in September I knew it was special. The swelling momentum that followed reminded of Âme’s take on Sailor & I’s ‘Turn Around’ two summers ago. Now three months later with the official worldwide release on Christmas Day the hype is not faltering.

The theatrical nature and cinematic sweeping chorus that Innervisions is so renowned for shines in Lalou’s remix of this overwhelmingly happy sounding record from Dele Sosimi, I dare you not to smile when you first hear it. Dixon’s self proclaimed ‘favourite track of 2015’ bursts with nostalgic memories of summers past and the upcoming good times ahead.

4.4/5
