		Track 1: Daddy-O Track 2: Sambuca: The Return

Singer and award-winning songwriter Shaznay Lewis fronts one of the hottest collaborations of 2008 “Daddy-O;” a slice of bassline and garage heaven from the ultimate ‘Old School Garage Meisters’ WIDEBOYS - currently dominating the UK and US club charts with their remixing prowess.  In 2009 they returned with their soulful follow up “Sambuca” featuring Dennis G.

Platinum-selling producers and remixers the WIDEBOYS (Edward Craig & Jim Sullivan) have been working together since 1996. At the time Jim had his own recording studio and met Eddie working in his own record store. The boys first breakthrough was with the Artful Dodger and Craig David classic “Woman Trouble” in the Summer of 2000. They subsequently won Best Newcomers at the 2000 UK Garage Awards. The guys are best known for their 2001 hit “Sambuca” (featuring Dennis G) and producing the Liberty X Top 5 debut “Thinking It Over.” The album, of the same name, went on to sell over one million copies worldwide. WIDEBOYS have most recently hit the #1 spot on the UK club charts with remixes of T2’s “Heartbroken” and Rihanna’s “Don’t Stop the Music.” The unstoppable duo have also sprinkled their magic over recent hits from Taio Cruz, Snoop Dogg, Sugababes, Britney Spears and David Jordan‘s forthcoming single “Move On.”

Shaznay (who in 2001 won the Ivor Novello Award for Best Songwriting) proudly stands as one quarter of the phenomenally successful band All Saints. While the girls are busy cooking up new delights in the studio, Shaznay just couldn’t resist “Daddy O” all for herself.

“Daddy-O” was written by Therese Grankvist alongside Thriller Jill (Ian Masterson and Terry Ronald). Therese reveals that the area, the street vibe, the chatter & raga bars of Elephant & Castle (London) were the heavy influences behind the song “Daddy O.”  “Sambuca” was written by the Wideboys and Dennis G and remixed by the likes of the Soul Seekerz, 187 Lockdown and Micky Slim.

Be prepared for Shaznay and the WIDEBOYS to take over a dance floor near you soon!
