BadBadNotGood / Little Dragon Tried Ninja Tune vinyl record Sale

Vocal Soul Jazz On Ltd Edition 7″ – Despite not releasing all that much in 2018, Canadian nu-jazz combo BADBADNOTGOOD’s reputation continued to rise. That was in no small part due to their eye-catching collaboration with Little Dragon, which resulted in the digital release of “Tried” back in September. Now the track has been given a deserved seven-inch single release by Ninja Tune. With LD lead vocalist Yukimi Nagano doing her best to channel the spirit of Minnie Riperton, “Tried” has a similarly languid, jazz/folk/soul fusion feel as some of the best works by Rotary Connection.
BADBADNOTGOOD’s admiration of the Charles Stepney-produced band comes through loud and clear through the choice of instruments and arrangements. For further proof, check the accompanying flipside instrumental mix.

Yukimi’s lush vocals over BADBADNOTGOOD’s instrumentation prove yet again that the possibilities & discovery in their musical quest are infinite.
