Information:
The Swingle Singers return, but this isn't your LP era Swingles.With a stunning selection of brand new arrangements, the Swingles’ disc promises some of their best and most memorable performances to date on this studio album. The warm, beautiful tone and precision of the groups voices are combined with a modern edge; with vocal percussion and beatboxing featuring guest performances from Shlomo, the world renowned beatboxer, and the Vocal Orchestra. Adventurous, yet rewarding and fun for radio airplay.
"But cut to a riff on Chick Corea's take on the Rodrigo Aranjuez theme and we're into clever improvisation with multiple variations ... intrigued by a citrus twist on Dido's Lament ... beatboxer Shlomo earns his rent in a Bach finale and the whole sounds edgy and almost cool" London Evening Standard
"Their precision is awesome, their technique impeccable" Classic FM Magazine
