	Brand New Heavies - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Brand New Heavies are an acid jazz and alternative hip hop group formed in 1985 in Ealing, a suburb of London, England.
		In April 2006, the Brand New Heavies reunited with N'Dea Davenport and former label Delicious Vinyl.

		As a brand new band, the Heavies didn't know quite what they had on their hands with vocalist N'Dea Davenport; she's only featured on four cuts here, but as it turned out three of them were released as singles and her fiery, soulful vocals wound up being the key to the band's commercial success.
		From start to finish, the Brand New Heavies take us on an addictive trip back to a time when the grooves were thick, the writing was sophisticated, and the vocals were genuine, unadulterated soul.
		The Heavies would eventually surpass the heights they reached here, but in retrospect the album offers every clue that they were on their way to becoming legends in the Acid Jazz genre.

	Brand New Heavies
		Pioneers of the London acid-jazz scene, the Brand New Heavies translated their love for the funk grooves of the 1970s into a sophisticated sound which carried the torch for classic soul in an era dominated by hip-hop.
		As the Heavies became successful the idea was shelved and all that remained was the Heavies recordings.
		The Heavies may now have bigger hits, be bigger stars but they will never be better than they were at the start of the nineties.

		Pioneers of the London acid jazz scene, the Brand New Heavies translated their love for the funk grooves of the 1970s into a sophisticated sound that carried the torch for classic soul in an era dominated by hip-hop.
		Eventually adding a brass section, the Brand New Heavies built a cult following throughout the London club circuit, surviving the shift that saw the rare groove scene fade in the wake of acid house.
		A new album, Get Used to It, was released later that year and was followed by a tour of the U.K. and Europe.

		When BNH played live in the USA they were greeted by audiences that hadn't seen live funk bands in a long time, but especially impressed were the rap community who saw in the Heavies a band playing grooves that rappers would usually sample from old 70's records.
		So impressed with the BNH were legendary funksters and R&B artists like Ray Charles who invited the band to play his 50th anniversary in the music biz, where the Heavies finally met some of their heroes like Stevie Wonder and Ouincy Jones.
		The Brand New Heavies had now carved out their niche as one of the finest contemporary soul/dance groups, albeit paving the way for the likes of Jamiroquai, as well as US soul stars D'Angelo, Maxwell, Erykah Badu and a slew of up and coming neo-soul bands.

	The Brand New Heavies
		With Davenport at the fore, the Heavies scored a trio of RandB and dance club top 10 hits in the early '90s but were unable to reach such heights once the soul chanteuse left the fold and was replaced by Siedah Garrett in 1997.
		However, it took a new album and an energetic concert to show that while the Heavies may not be brand new, they are back with a vengeance.
		Now the Heavies have returned with a much more organic and mature mix of soulful grooves that might not appeal to ADD-addled youngsters, but it'll warm the souls of their parents like a steaming cup of coffee on a cool morning.

	CNN - New singer brings fresh vibes to 'Brand New Heavies' funk - Aug. 13, 1997
		NEW YORK (CNN) -- Take three lads from England who are fluent in Valley Girl, add a new lead singer from Los Angeles who's comfortable with cockney, and mix in a funky '70s beat, and you've got the latest incarnation of the Brand New Heavies.
		The look and sound of the Brand New Heavies is as decidedly retro as their clothes and music videos.
		And while Garrett says she's having the time of her life touring around the world with the Heavies, the singer-songwriter still looks back fondly on her past music experiences, including work with Quincy Jones and a tour with the King of Pop.

		Yes, this is unchallenging, uncomplicated, soulful music with a heavy funk influence and is as inoffensive as an episode of Last Of The Summer Wine, but that is exactly what it is meant to be: sweet sunshine soul for kicking back and relaxing to.
		BNH's new album, titled "We won't stop" will be released January 16th in Japan.
		As I said, The Brand New Heavies are quite alive, so they did various gigs in the past two years.

	Brand New Heavies: album reviews and ratings
		The Brand New Heavies were formed in 1985 by old friends Jan Kincaid (drums/keyboards), Andrew Levy (bass), and Simon Bartholomew (guitar), as an instrumental band in the London suburb of Ealing.
		Rehearsing in standard garage band fashion, the group, (then named Brothers International), were able to properly harness their budding funk abilities and in 1987, re-named themselves The Brand New Heavies, supplementing their instrumental-only trio with horns and vocalist N'Dea Davenport, creating a passionate blend of musicians dedicated to fusing soul and funk seamlessly.
		The BNH were shortly blessed with the vocal talent of Siedah Garrett destined to thicken the groove soup batter.

		N'Dea Davenport is back with the Brand New Heavies where she truly belongs and I couldn't be happier.
		The Heavies tried to soldier on and 1997's "Shelter" with Seidah Garrett was a great album but I've always held the view that N'Dea and BNH go together like apple pie and ice cream - good enough separately but simply fantastic together.
		The Heavies are very firmly back in the business of funky music with no hype, no gimmicks and a real back to basics album that's well overdue.

	Brand New Heavies Biography and Update at SoulTracks
		Formed in the mid-80s by guitarist Simon Bartholemew, drummer/keyboardist Jan Kincaid and bassist Andrew Levy, the Brand New Heavies began as an instrumental group heavily influenced by the soul and funk sounds of the 60s and 70s, with a particular fondness for James Brown and the Meters.
		So it is a special treat that in consecutive months we’ve received great new discs from Unified Tribe and, now, the Brand New Heavies.
		Groups like the Heavies and Soul II Soul made quite a stir fifteen years ago with their brand of funky acid jazz and soul, and their absence has been greatly felt by lovers of danceable adult music.

		The Brand New Heavies is one of the few recent hybrids able to break down once-daunting genre boundaries and still outlive the glare of media fascination.
		While this combination isn't always practical — the band is a jack-of-all-genres more than a master of one, not hip enough for the hipsters and not soulful enough for the RandB audience — when it does take, the band's crossbred funk is splendid.
		She returned to the Heavies for Brother Sister, however, an album that finds the band back making soul music, easing up on the funk to go with a glossier, moderately discofied sound.

		As figureheads of the early '90s acid jazz movement, The Brand New Heavies' signature fusion of sunny disco and sultry funk runs the risk of sounding painfully dated in today's crunk and pop-punk music scene.
		Get Used To It however - the Heavies' latest release - is a satisfying record that balances their classic sound with noticeable growth and innovation.
		That's a good word to describe the new four-disc box set Rockin' Bones which celebrates 1950s rockabilly music and some tunes that could been seen as a precursor to punk.

		The Heavies spell out their musical mission on Get Used To It's delightfully festive "Right On," as Davenport sings: "Bring back the funk in music/Put back the funk in music." With stellar horn arrangements and a fluid bass groove, the tune is equal parts mantra and declaration.
