Single Review

Three helpings of playfully strolling Americana marks the return of the colourful cockney quintet, 'Hey Negrita'. 'Can't Walk Away' features the bubbly and gritty vocals of Felix, who sings like he is climbing out of a deep well at the same time. The springtime accompaniment picks up swiftly to remind you of the pop potency of Mamas & Papas. While 'Lost And Bones' cries out from a soothing acoustic base, a nostalgic tale of love and admiration. A bit of soul is thrown into the six minute plus Lemon Jelly mix of 'Losing You' that completes the picture of Hey Negrita's searching nature.
