The Brand New Heavies have translated their love of sophisticated '70s funk grooves into a danceable sound that has evolved and endured for over 30 years. The leading band of London's acid jazz scene, they made their recorded debut in 1988 and thrived throughout the '90s, powered by vocalists N'Dea Davenport, Siedah Garrett, and Carleen Anderson. The band's first full decade was marked by the platinum U.K. Top Ten albums Brother Sister (1994) and Shelter (1997) and 15 U.K. Top 40 singles including "Stay This Way" and "Dream On Dreamer." Although a knowing throwback approach is an outstanding aspect of their appeal, the Heavies have frequently collaborated with rappers and younger producers. Since their most prolific decade, they've kept that mentality while more than doubling the length of their discography. Among their later highlights are Get Used to It (2016) and TBNH (2019), LPs graced by Davenport.
