Sunday Best Vinilo y CD

Review: You might well have caught Rhoda Dakar's wonderful run of cover versions popping up on singles from Sunday Best over recent times. Now the time has come to gather them together with some additional treats and present a fully-fledged album. Version Girl is pure feel good energy, even when Dakar takes on The Smiths' 'Everyday Is Like Sunday'. From Bowie's 'The Man Who Sold The World' to Reed's 'Hangin' 'Round', Dakar has chosen tracks which don't already have reggae versions, bringing something fresh to the table with the insight of a true music lover.

Review: 2Tone icon Rhoda Dakar is back on suitably dusty pink vinyl 7" given that it drops the day after Valentine's Day. This one is another reggae-infused cover following the success of her latest album, 'Version Girl.' 'I Don't Mind' was originally penned by Peter Shelley of Buzzcocks but here gets the Rhoda treatment, and is an homage to one of Rhoda's favourite songwriters. It pays tribute to Shelley's songwriting prowess and reflects on an encounter with Shelley in 2015. Dakar's soulful rendition of it means 'I Don't Mind' resonates as a timeless tribute.
