Marcina Arnold & the LoveRats

"I LOVE Forefathers"
Giles Peterson - BBC Radio 1

"thanks to Fabian at Soul Brother Records for putting Marcina Arnold's superb 'About Time' CD on the counter in front of me, she ought not remain undiscovered for a second longer"
Chris Wells (Echoes Magazine) - Echoes Magazine

"a tremendous little debut from British born vocalist Marcina Arnold.
Marcina works with a fair bit of acoustic guitar in her backings, but also sings with a great blend of soul & Jazz...perhaps best of all is Arnold's highly rhythmic approach to the tunes, one that has things leaping along wonderfully, with a sense of groove & grace that's really unique, & which will have you humming most of these tunes long after the album has ended! The whole thing is wonderful without cliche!

"This young lady has a CV that stretches from Quite Sane & Eska to Hugh Masekelya & Akram Khan, & this slab of wax her debut 4 trak EP, is a real treat for soul, folk, blues & jazz fans alike. Counterpoint Records have done the decent thing & released 2 of the choicest cuts from Marcina's 'Twisted Blue Folk' LP doubled them up with two brand new exclusive tracks. The result is the poignant 'Blues for Jean Charels Menezes', the challenging 'Neva Do It' alongside the bossa tinged cut 'Forefathers' and samba soul of 'Memory' - a joint Joice would be proud of"

" Introducing Marcina Arnold EP sounds great" - BBC radio 2

"Marcina Arnold sits perfectly between Soul & Jazz and a touch of Folk & Brazil. The EP is sounding great already a soulsearching regular with Forefathers & my favourite the 1st class radiotune 'Memory'. Need the album!" - Soul Searching

"im glad the rest of the world will now hear the UKs best kept secret!"
