UN-CUT

Enter Un-Cut, a pair of plucky Manc producers and a front woman who has the words urban diva stamped all over in large, neon letters, and their debut album, The Un-Calculated Some. They may not be strictly soul, but the fact that they transcend the genre and push their noses into drum and bass and r'n'b just adds to their appeal. The fact that The Un-Calculated Some is superb helps them no end as well. Rooted in the fundaments of Motown, distilled through the upfront attitude of Northern Soul and invigorated by jazz and funk
