LRK is proud to announce the 7:45s will be releasing their debut album Spinning on 20 June. The 7:45s are an original soul collective from Manchester, UK – the brainchild of songwriter and bassist Sam Flynn. Inspired by the house bands of soul labels from Motown to Big Crown, the young collective spotlights guest vocalists such as Martin Connor and Nicole Battick. Named after 7-inch vinyl, The 7:45s write snappy singles that blend the vintage feel of rare groove with the songcraft of perfect pop.The 7:45s have been played on BBC Radio 6 Music by Craig Charles, Stuart Maconie and Chris Hawkins and on Jazz FM by Simon Phillips. A concept album for the soul, Spinning is a retro-soul love story. Side A is sunshine soul about the dizziness of an on-off relationship, as heard in the Charles Bradley-inspired opener ‘The Way That I Love You’. Side B is nocturnal. Head-spinning heartbreak is the subject of rare groove-influenced ‘The Writing’s on the Wall’ while dancing to a new dawn is the theme of Prince-inspired disco number ‘We Will Be Friends’. The album also features a reimagination of The Beatles’ ‘Don’t Let Me Down’. Spinning is released digitally, on vinyl and on CD through LRK Records on 20 June 2025. https://lrkrecords.bandcamp.com/album/spinning
