Kick off your dancing shoes and lay still awhile... Oozing warmth like hot sand underfoot, Serve Chilled is where Kandi calms right down with the choicest of low-slung chillery. This new selection is the equivalent of a massage for the ears. With sights firmly fixed on the beginning of summer the emphasis here is on blue sky blissed-out beats, visceral vocals, and gorgeous grooves.
Once again, we’ve a collection of the familiar, the brand new and the beautifully strange, with elements of lounge, soulful jazz and nu-beats, Balearic electronica, funk and chilled Latin – that together make one of the best ways to unwind by the pool, relax on the beach or just generally restore that Kandi sense of well-being! The first disc gets under way with the acoustic version of The Cure and The Cause. Sometimes chillout versions of familiar tracks feel contrived but this Fish Go Deep track sounds like it was written this way. Tracey K’s vocal sets the beautiful lazy afternoon tone. The Freemasons’ Rain Down Love and, later on disc two, Kings Of Tomorrow’s Finally follow in similar vain with simple, unostentatious downtempo productions that prove the best songs work in a number of different contexts.
