Listen: Christian Gregory – “Count On You”

With the ambition of projecting soul-inspired music deeper into the mainstream, Christian Gregory is set to release his debut single early next month through 2012 ‘Sound Of…’ winner Michael Kiwanuka’s new Movement Records.

Like his label counterpart, London-based Gregory embraces a warm bluesy hue and the results are hugely satisfying: his husky vocal weaves away above the bare but funk-fueled verses before an irresistible chorus takes hold. Recorded in one take with vintage equipment designed to capture the smooth, organic sound, this instantly likeable track has set the tone for an exciting young label.
