The lead single ‘Same Scandal’ from “Torch” is an infectious dance track with a funky house groove that will ensure a crowded dancefloor, bringing out all the heroes of to the dancefloor.<br /><br />“Torch” lead vocals come from the playful and expressive chops of Manu; Gary Alesbrook, the trumpet player touring and recording with Kasabian and the Scissor Sisters; and James Morton, the sax player and keyboard player touring and recording with Pee Wee Ellis from the band of James Brown.
Mixes and remixes have come from top US DJs such as Nick Chacona and Anthony Mansfield as well as top US and UK engineers, including Adam Noble in the Strongroom, Joe Fields and Sam Dillon in Soho studios, Doug McBride in Gravity Studios in Chicago, Grammy Award winning Thom Russo in Los Angeles, and Grammy Award winning Mick Glossop in London.
