Where Our Love Grows

Swing Out Sister make a welcome return with their classy new album, 'Where Our Love Grows', a dream of a record that could well become the surprise soundtrack of the summer 2004.

A bright, breezy blend of lounge, Latin and northern soul bristling with cinematic moods and jazzy rhythms - its songs contain classic shades of Burt Bacharach, John Barry and Ennio Morricone but also throw in an ambient, contemporary twist which dovetails neatly with groups such as Air and Zero 7.

Honed with an expertise gleaned over two decades of musical activity, this is a collection that evokes long summer days, chic pavement cafes, cool sea breezes and lusty Latin cocktails.

All in all, it is a quite maravilhoso affair, which should appeal to discerning pop fans of all ages.
