Baker's Dozen

Artists discuss the 13 records that shaped their lives

11. Soul II SoulClub Classics Vol. One

There was something about that whole London sound. The record is all about the beats, which they do so well, and of course Caron Wheeler’s voice is just incredible. She’s a singer I really look up to – such a big, powerful voice. ‘African Dance’ got me as well – it’s marrying that whole London sound, and jazz, with African instrumentation as well.

Selected in other Baker’s Dozens: Sarah Cracknell
