"Their voices come together seamlessly, the luscious sweetness of their gospel-inspired harmonies hitting the sweet spot"

Sharon Jones’ backing vocalists, Saundra Williams and Starr Duncan Lowe, step into the spotlight in fine style with the release of their much anticipated debut album.

Recording with The Dap-Kings, these Dap Queens naturally revel in the vintage sounds of the soulful ‘60s. There’s a deep, smoky smoothness to Saun’s vocals while Starr’s astonishing range soars across the mix on tunes like Hot Shot. Duetting across much of this album, their voices come together seamlessly, the luscious sweetness of their gospel-inspired harmonies hitting the sweet spot. A fine collection confidently dealt with plenty of passion.
