Another in the big UK Garage anthem category, MJ Cole’s “Sincere” put the artist on the fast track, from a smash single picked up by AM:PM to the debut 2000 album of the same name.
Along the way, it would be remixed by Jazzanova, Black Science Orchestra (Ashley Beedle), Wookie, Miguel Migs, all across multiple labels – but the soul bleeds through every solitary beat and chord on each and every mix.
Cole’s background as a classically trained musician is usually the top line of every feature throughout his prolific career, but his luxuriant musicality has been on exhibition from day one, along with an ear for experimentation that didn’t lose the dancefloor or the casual listener.
