A story of long distance love, September is an R'n'B anthem that hits hard in all the right places. Laura Vane has garnered attention globally with listeners in Tokyo and Sydney among many others, and this newest offering brings the nostalgia of the 90s, reminiscent of artists such as En Vogue, Toni Braxton, TLC and Mary J Blige. It feels a bit like turning on my radio as a teenager and this is exactly the kind of tune that I would have learnt all the backing vocals to! With gorgeous piano and organ, enhanced by gospel-style vocal oohs leading from one line to the next, plenty of harmonies and a powerhouse lead vocal that takes the song to new heights as it progresses, September is exactly my cup of tea. I particularly enjoy the call and response between the lead and backing during the middle 8, and the funky bassline that just gets better throughout. Turn it up loud, sing along, dance, do whatever you need to do - and enjoy!
