The first of two 45s recently announced by the seemingly indefatigable Original Gravity label is this one from new signing Jodie boasting a brace of vintage sounding blue-eyed soul cuts – Pushover and Treat Me Better. Both are uptempo northern soul burners equally liable to devastate dancefloors, the B-side with its insistent tambourine and lyrical dismissal of an ex, the even faster A-side with its tolling bell intro, drum break bridge and assertive theme. To get you in the mood, there’s even a slick retro style lyric video complete with archive footage of vintage dancing, swirling psychedelic FX and Jodie wearing a flowery mod dress on a photo shoot! Set your minds free you crazy cats!
