Lately I’ve been getting into The Very Best’s debut LP, Warm Heart of Africa. It’s a really good record, and I’ve also recently found out that it’s the perfect thing to put on at a house party if you want to both have fun and stop the guy that is desperate to play Nirvana or Nickelback or something else horrid from taking over the sound system and ruining everybody’s night.

One of the highlights of the new album is a song called “Julia”, and now they’ve done a new version with Kano (who I’ve never really liked that much). Surprisingly then, the collaboration actually comes off quite well, and they’ve even made a happy little video with a bunch of studio footage for it, which you can check out above.
