Live and Learn

Elkie Brooks

Smoky blues vocals meet high-gloss 1979 disco and funk. A gritty, bass-driven pivot that trades soft rock ballads for relentless urban grooves.

It's Elkie Brooks doing disco-funk with all the grit of a blues club, and it's way better than you'd expect.

A high-octane blend of soulful defiance and late-seventies urban swagger.
