UK Urban music has a new male group ready to claim their spot in 2011. Encore, aka singers Mark and Cairo and rapper Pierre are freshly signed to Island Records. Having formed in 2009, the boys have already toured the country with likes of N-Dubz, Chipmunk and Taley Riley. Now ready to step out on their own, Encore release their debut single ‘Wind Up’ on February 14th, Valentine’s Day.
So what do Encore sound like? They’re not just your average, sweet uniformed male group, Encore create something fresh & original by combining dubstep, R&B and a hint of pop. ‘Wind Up’ takes us through a troubled relationship, urging their girl to “make your mind up”; laced with slick R&B vocals thrown over a tough and edgy dubstep beat.
Encore’s debut album will follow in 2011.The group have been in the studio working with top writers and producers from both sides of the Atlantic including Davinche (Kano “P's & Q's”) Nate Walka (Jamie Foxx ‘Blame It’) and Ina Wroldsen & Arnthor (Shontelle ‘Impossible’). Keep your eyes peeled for more to come; Encore will leave you wanting more!
