Hot Chocolate

Hot Chocolate

A sophisticated blend of gritty street-level funk and velvet-smooth British soul. Darker and more socially aware than their later disco hits.

1975 · RAK

A sophisticated, urban soul record that balances infectious grooves with a thoughtful, slightly melancholic perspective.

Moments Worth Listening For
The hypnotic, repetitive bassline of The Street that builds a cinematic tension over five minutes.
Errol Brown's transition from a whisper to a soulful plea during the climax of Lay Me Down.
The sharp, biting guitar scratches on Dollar Sign that punctuate the cynical lyrical themes.
