You may be aware of the sweet soul sounds of Kylie Auldist from her previous work with The Bamboos. From the first snare roll, “Community Service Announcement” is sprinkled with that same characteristically uplifting, sun-soaked soul vibe. The combination of Kylie’s breathtaking voice and production from label-mate Lance Ferguson (Lanu/The Bamboos) is red hot, with backing vocals that feel like a blissful breeze and a catchy, funky hook from the brass section.
The B side is “Cut You Loose,” a pure funk track, introducing the fiery side to Kylie’s songwriting and showcasing her power and versatility as a singer. As the title infers, a gentleman friend is being kicked to the kerb for being ‘no use’, and judging by the delectably steely edge to Kylie’s voice, the wise money’s on him not putting up much of a fight. The punchy intro gets straight in there, grabs you by the lapels and pulls you to your feet and this track doesn’t let go until it ends - in the way that all great funk should – abruptly and leaving you wanting more.
