Following a successful return to the live arena in 2024 and keeping ears open with two volumes of the‘From The Volt’ series collecting rarities and re-ups, Lack of Afro is ready to go again. Warming heartsand revving the wheels on your rollerskates, ‘Make It Shine’ is a funk & soul beacon catching the glare ofthe glitterball: Greg Blackman’s smooth vocals are the cause for hip-hip-hoorays and Saturday nightfever, and with its celebratory disco strings and guitars, the pair prove once again that music remainsthe answer.
