Prince Fatty - Milk & Honey

Milk & Honey is pure 70s cool; edgy female vocals over smooth bouncy dub beats with a hint of jazz

Please note this is an old page and Fly Global Music has now moved. Please follow this link and search for the entry in the new site.

The band behind it is Prince Fatty - a group originally formed to record a limited edition album to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Stuusy but now brought back in to being by Mr Bongo Records.

The group was put together by producer and engineer Mike Pelanconi, who produced Lilly Allen’s ‘Alright Still’ and Little Barrie’s ‘Stand Your Ground’, and features an exciting guest line-up. The Roots Radics’ drummer Style Scott, Ruff Cut Band Hammond organ player Bubblers, Afrobeat star and saxophonist Bucky Leo and the Nostalgia 77 Horn Section have all played their part. Guest vocals have been provided by Little Roy, Winston Francis and Hollie Cook; it’s Cook’s smoky vocals that are showcased on Milk & Honey.

The single has more than a hint of the Lock Stock soundtrack to and is reminiscent of Prince Buster. Just in case you were wondering why the voice on the b-side Fat Panther is so familiar, its because it’s the veteran DJ and producer Al Capone.

As well as the single Prince Fatty’s Survival of the Fattest album is out soon and they are promising some live shows and DJ gigs over the summer.
