Too Late, Too Late

Mr. Hudson & The Library

Mercury

WE SAY

We first featured Mr Hudson back in March last year when he was unsigned with his brilliant cover of Chet Baker’s Everything Happens To Me. That track is one of many highlights on his Mercury-released debut album, A Tale Of Two Cities. This, the lead single, is typical of their invigorating hip hop, reggae and ska cross-pollination, which makes Mr Hudson & The Library one of the most exciting artists lined up for this year. Radio support comes from XFM and Capital, where this was added as well as Radio 1, where it is a Record of the Week. A UK headline tour and support slots on the Amy Winehouse tour follows. JF
