Cookin' The Books b/w Give A Little Bit More feat. Stella Angelico
Out now on Soul Messin Records
Side A - Cookin’ The Books
A gritty, upbeat Hammond-led instrumental cooked low and slow in the heart of Melbourne’s funk scene. It’s all business up front - deep pocket drums, greasy organ licks, and guitar work that snaps and struts. No vocals, no fat - just a raw funk workout that’s ready for the crates.
Side B - Give a Little Bit More (feat. Stella Angelico)
A classic-feeling, mid-tempo soul joint with a message that cuts deep. Longtime collaborator Stella Angelico delivers a powerful vocal performance about generosity, empathy, and turning things around when it matters. With uplifting lyrics, smooth horns, and a groove that nods to vintage 45s, this one lands straight in the heart - timeless, spiritual, and soul-drenched.
