Alisha from Misfits gets tropical and tender with Sugarcane on first track "One Specific Thing"
Remember the first series of Misfits? Alisha, real-name Antonia Thomas, features as a vocalist on Sugarcane's tantalisingly tropical new track, "One Specific Thing".
Sugarcane's Robin French came to meet with Antonia Thomas on a play, and has now collaborated with the actress in music.
Antonia Thomas, known for her roles in Misfits and Netflix's Lovesick, leads the track's vocals. Soft and syrupy sweet in delivery, her tones and pronunciation are comparable to Lily Allen, or better, Lily Allen in Hawaii.
Sugarcane dish out the melodic backing vocals and provide intensely paradisic instrumentals that'll transport you straight to the crystal-clear blue waters of the Caribbean.
Oozing with sultry samba, the track combines a vast multitude of cultural influences from Thomas and Sugarcane, and is delivered like a French chanson.
Speaking about the track, French explains, “It's about escaping, about the joy & melancholy of saying 'f*ck it', junking your old life & starting again. I wrote it with Mr. Hudson for our album Tale of Two Cities, When Antonia was round at mine, she sang my samba version & everything clicked.”
Soothing like the summer breeze, the steel drums provoke images of palm trees and fresh coconuts in paradise, all you have to do is close your eyes.
