RIVA STARR’s second album comes 3 years after the critical acclaim of ‘If life gives you lemons, make lemonade’ (2010) – which spawned the seminal Balkan beat single ‘I Was Drunk’ feat. Noze, now with over 10 million combined youtube views. However, instead of chasing a successfully tested formula, Riva immediately moved to other pastures with an aptly named Latin American E.P. and then swiftly on to a quirky big beat driven single in the good company of Fatboy Slim and featuring Beardyman on vocals. Now he’s off to experiment with more indie-urban-pop influences.The second album ‘Hand in Hand’ finds him a steady favourite with DJs and producers across the board, from Gilles Peterson to Annie Mac and from Swedish House Mafia to DJ Sneak, David Rodigan to Pete Tong, again ready to confuse them with yet another take on his unbridled love of music. ‘Hand in Hand’ featuring: chief partner-in-crime Rssll (ex lead singer of Indie darlings ‘The Research’) plus Horace Andy, Roots Manuva, Vinicio Capossela, Speech Debelle, Bob Andy, Carmen Consoli, and selected adventurous others.
To celebrate the launch of ‘Hand in Hand’, we are giving away 5 copies of the album. Enter below.
