Since Natural History came out we’ve had quite a few questions about the the vocals on some of the tracks. So we thought it might be a good idea to introduce you to the singers we sometimes work with when we need vocal work doing.

In Part 1 we introduced you to Rochelle Parker, in Part 2 to Kameel and in Part 3 to Ernesto.

This time round say hello to Alexis Strum who is the featured vocalist on ‘Why Me, Why Now’ from our album ‘Black Water’.
Alexis is a singer-songwriter who, aside from her own projects, has worked with a bunch of other people including Kylie Minogue and Robbie Williams.

‘Why Me, Why Now’ was also released as a single, together with a banging remix from Cicada.
