Big AC Records and renowned music photographer, Dean Chalkley, present 'So Pure', a soulful single written and recorded in just 48 hours by six musicians working together for the first time.

The collective, named Phono 48, features neo-soul singer Laville, Kitty and Lewis Durham (of Kitty, Daisy and Lewis), Amané Suganami, Solomon Douglas and Nick Corbin, all of whom entered the studio with no preconceived ideas of what they would create.

The result is a beautifully crafted, contemporary-sounding song; Laville's positive lyrics and smooth, laid-back vocal are soundtracked by an infectious piece of music, with all participants blending seamlessly to create a track at the intersection of soul, funk and jazz.

'So Pure' anchors the multi-media 'New Perspectives' project devised by Dean Chalkley, who captured the magic of the two days' studio time in a vast series of documentary style images.

Additionally Chalkley and art director Ciaran O'Shea created a short experimental film with different abstract elements reflecting this brilliant creative journey, inspired by Jean Luc Godard's 'Sympathy For The Devil', where the director shot the Rolling Stones as they made their famous record.

The multi-faceted 'New Perspectives' project also includes a one-off journal written by music journalist Andy Thomas. The project will launch on 17th February at The Museum of Youth Culture with a photography exhibition and film screening.

Phono 48's 'So Pure' will be released on 12" vinyl via Big A.C. Records on 18th February. Also available on digital download and across streaming platforms.
