Former Hungry Lucy member Warren Harrison joins up with Jess Lamb (former American Idol candidate 2015) for trip hop project
Warren Harrison, known as one half of the former trip hop duo Hungry Lucy, is back with a new project featuring singer/songwriter Jess Lamb and Kasey Williams on guitar and bass. To our American readers the name of Jess Lamb should ring a bell as she was a candidate for American Idol this past year.
Says Warren: “Jess has been around for quite some years as a musician though and is a hard-working musician who has been playing around the US for the past 11 years and releasing a few albums over that time.”
The duo first collaborated on a trip-hop cover of the Bill Withers 1971 classic “Ain’t No Sunshine” earlier this year and have now just released the 2-track EP, entitled “Free” that displays their first original work together. This includes the excellent ‘industrial-gospel’ song “Lovers on the Run” (which was also included on the Side-Line playlist on Spotify) and the more pop sounding “Step Out of the Dark”. The tracks are a taste of a full-length release coming up in 2016.
You can listen to the new EP below.
The “Free” EP is the first major release for the Cincinnati-based singer/songwriter Jess Lamb since her post-American Idol David Sisko produced single, “Memories” hit the digital stores.
The duo has also been performing live, with more gigs to come. Here’s a picture from their set at the Da Vida House venue on October 28.
