Sun In My Pocket

Locnville

Epic

WE SAY

20 year-old twin brothers Andrew and Brian Chaplin aka Locnville provoked a flurry of positive responses to their South African label when we first featured this back in February. Sun In My Pocket, a buzz record at Midem earlier in the year, has already been a hit in South Africa, where their album of the same name went Platinum soon after release. Sony Music International won the race for their signature with Epic currently setting up to release this in the UK. A wise signing - Locnville are an act with global appeal and this is an addictive debut single. Video.
