Following a banner 2014, Seven Davis Jr. takes to Ninja Tune with 'Wild Hearts' - his first cut for 2015. The lead cut is possibly his most accomplished, yet not at the expense of his ruddy production grit and spark, juicing maximum soul from jazzy double-bass line, crunching drums and skanking guitar licks smushed with his own vocals, back and forth between deft verses and raw processed chorus. Likewise, 'Let Somebody Love You' starts out like sounding like some blown-out Arthur Russell cello riff, which turns out to be the main vocal refrain rubbed as a bassline below infectious garage-disco-house drums.
