Soundboy Rock

In 1999, this London dance duo released Vertigo, which made the British Top 20 and achieved silver status. They followed this success with a stint as Elton John's opening band. An album of remixes followed, featuring post-productions by DJ Icey and Tim "Love" Lee. After releasing a mix album, Back to Mine, the duo returned with a second production effort, 2001's Goodbye Country (Hello Nightclub). Two years later, Lovebox highlighted a new kind of funk for GA, with kitschy vibes and collaborative efforts coming from Neneh Cherry, Nappy Roots, and R&B chanteuse Sunshine Anderson. Soundboy Rock continues the emphasis on catchy hooks and became the fourth straight GA album to reach the British Top Ten.
