Imagine Sa-Ra sparking up with Spacek and you're half way there. 'Scratch' legend Rob Mac explores his more soulful side with new project, Gum Drop, due to take over the airwaves this summer. With a little help from long time cohort Matt Smooth (on drums) and Lucy Wilkin's lush violin skills, Gum Drop deliver soul music with a razor-sharp edge. A delicate balance of sweet melody, sparse electronics and old school beats. The other half of the Gum Drop puzzle lies in the tender vocal that's at the heart of their music. Singer Randolph Matthews is an enigma. Vocalist, percussionist, world-renowned singing coach and the first choice of artists such as Sandboy, John Beltran, and even Terry Callier, Randolph's deep and sultry tones complete the Gum Drop sound. 'Sinking Feeling' pits Matthew's distinctive timbre against chugging, twisted electronica; pure 21st century blues. For a more uptempo excursion, flip the script for the fiery '(Keeps On) Burning? where classic hip hop beats, and one bad ass b-line combine with Randolph's glorious vocals for a low slung, slow burning, party rocker. With a debut long-player to come this summer, make sure you're around when the Gum Drop drops. Goody goody.'
