Hangin’ On/Hangin’ Up/On Our Front Doorstep
Unmasked, 2012
8/10
Listen to Hangin’ On/Hangin’ Up/On Our Front Doorstep
An English band fronted by Nick Corbin who were active from 2007-2018, these 2 songs from New Street Adventure illustrate their British soul formula perfectly.
The animated and dance floor ready “Hangin’ On/Hangin’ Up” starts the listen with strong attention to deal, where scrappy drums, soulful backing singers and well timed brass complement Corbin’s infectious vocals.
On the flipside, “On Our Front Doorstep” is a bit more subdued, and features Carmella Davis’ gorgeous pipes that flow alongside the warm guitar, cozy horns and agile rhythm section.
New Street Adventure called it a day in early 2018, but Corbin has embarked on a successful solo career that takes the soul/disco/R&B spirit of his full band work and applies it superbly.
