Product Description

Our sultry songstress returns at last with her second single on Wah Wah 45s, and in anticipation of her debut album, due out early next year. Having twisted our melons with the provocative “Balls Bounce” in 2008 (featuring a sublime remix from Bonobo) and spoilt us with the alternative smoky jazz bomb “Tip” on the latest Wah Wah 45s compilation earlier this year, Stac has spent most of the last twelve months playing live all over London, and beyond, culminating in the creation of her own choir, who follow wherever she goes and help spread her unique and quirky sound. Now Stac is back on wax with the anthemic “Glory” which had some of the UK’s most cutting edge producers queuing up to work with her.

Label mate Scrimshire offers up a dramatic minimal house interpretation; the mysterious Pause strips “Glory” down into a wondrous, melancholic piece; Leeds genius Prod takes care of the original version (featuring Mancunian trumpeter Matthew Halsall!) and Norwegian beat head King Knut comes through with a mind and genre-bending reinterpretation that rounds off this package perfectly.

There’s something for all the family, even your slightly demented uncle who lives under the stairs and you never talk about…
