After not even a month online the new download platform by Sonar Kollektiv, Digital Kollektiv, is already on its fifth release. And this time its long term friend of the Sonar family, CLARA HILL, who provides an exclusive track with her new project CLARA HILLS FOLKWAVES for this exciting new platform. CLARA has been joined on Everything by a very special guest, none other than MARC MAC who produces London drum and bass legends 4HERO. Berlin's CLARA HILL has worked among others, with JAZZANOVA, KING ...

This new single is a sneak preview of her forthcoming album CLARA HILL'S FOLKWAVES - Sideways which is due for release on Sonar Kollektiv in september 2007. For her latest release she has chosen to grace Digital Kollektiv, the new genre spanning download portal presented by Sonar Kollektiv, with an exclusive new track, Everything [Radio Version], taken from the coming album. On Everything, CLARA has teamed up with MARC MAC from London drum and bass crew 4HERO. When CLARA contacted MARC he was excited about her idea to take the new album in more of a folk direction and agreed they should work on a track together. Besides his renowned work with 4HERO, MARC MAC has also produced for URSULA RUCKER, METALHEADS/GOLDIE, TERRY CALLIER and ULTRA NATE to name but a few. Everything is a brilliantly funky soul song with a lovely old school feel-good vibe. Exceptional instrumentation and the production talents of MARC MAC combined with CLARA HILL's luscious voice combine perfectly to give the tune a beautifully soulful flavour. The second exclusive track is an instrumental version of Everything. Its just as much a listening treat despite the absence of HILL's sweet vocal - you can really marvel at the finesse of MARC MAC's production skills which have made the 4HERO sound the name that it is. Everything is the perfect bridge between CLARA HILLS last album All I Can Provide and the more folky tunes on Sideways. These fine exclusive tracks by CLARA HILL and MARC MAC will presumably fall under the folkwaves banner of the genre spanning mind map that is Digital Kollektiv. The song certainly takes in the very best of soul and pop plus a very fresh and lively sound quality. If this is the standard the JAZZANOVA A&R team at Sonar Kollektiv mean to set for their new download-only portal, we can expect more great things to come soon. And as a taster for the forthcoming album, SIDEWAYS (SK161CD/folkwaves), this single promises more great things are in store from CLARA HILL. « Read Less
