Eli “Paperboy” Reed – Come And Get It

• 5th May 2010

US soul sensation Eli “Paperboy” Reed has just released the video for his new single ‘Come And Get It’, the title track of his new album. The song is a blast of sheer soulful exuberance, a paean to love, lust and desire, bursting with horns, pounding drums and that sweet, sweet Eli “Paperboy” Reed voice.

It harks back to the 60’s sounds of classic Motown and Stax good-time recordings; the kind of floor-filler that would tear up the dancehalls of the Northern soul scene across the UK.

Eli “Paperboy” Reed hits the UK for a full tour next week starting with a highly anticipated London show at the Scala on Monday May 10th.

As a taster of the album, the closing track ‘Explosion’ is available to download for free. Bursting out of the speakers like James Brown detonating Gnarls Barkley, it’s dancefloor dynamite. Check it out here link
