Manchester-based original soul collective The 7:45s release their debut single.

Named after 7-inch 45-rpm vinyl, The 7:45s write short and snappy soul singles. Inspired by Charles Bradley, 'The Way that I Love You'is full of contrasts: the piano chimes and horns respond, a man calls and a woman answers. It's laidback then intense, major then minor, nostalgic then heartbroken.

Songwriter and bassist Sam Flynn formed The 7:45s, inspired by the house bands of soul labels like Motown to Big Crown. The young collective feature some of the finest musicians in the Manchester scene, spotlighting guest vocalists such as Martin Connor and Yemi Bolatiwa.

Named after 7-inch 45-rpm vinyl, The 7:45s write short and snappy singles influenced by soul, funk and disco. They blend the vintage sound of northern soul and rare groove with the songcraft, hooks and arrangements of perfect pop – then add autobiographical lyrics and rhythmic twists.

Live, The 7:45s are an eight-piece. Boasting male and female vocalists, harmonies, horns and a tight rhythm section, the band produce a wall of sound that's built for the dancefloor. In the studio, the collective feature a bespoke line up for each track, ranging from dozens of musicians to an intimate five-piece.

the song is perfect for soulful playlists at DSPs and deserves spins at specialist shows on Radio 1 and Radio 2. All in all, this is just great music to stir the mind, body and soul. - Record of the day
