The Zutons

The Zutons bridge the gaps separating classic rock, indie, R&B, and Brit-pop, relying equally on stylish flair and sturdy songcraft. This fusion was apparent on "Pressure Point," the 2004 single that first brought them into the U.K. charts, and sharpened on "Don't Ever Think (Too Much)." The singles "Why Won't You Give Me Your Love?" and "Valerie" reached number nine in 2006. Amy Winehouse and Mark Ronson gave "Valerie" a Motown makeover the following year, earning an international hit for her effort, but the Zutons didn't capitalize on this exposure; they split in 2009. After spending nearly a decade apart, the group reunited late in the 2010s, mounting a full-fledged return with The Big Decider in 2024.
