The Brand New Heavies – Apparently Nothing

The Brand New Heavies – Apparently Nothing

The Brand New Heavies – Apparently Nothing is a classic slice of the UK acid jazz and funk revival, showcasing the band's trademark combination of soulful vocals, tight live instrumentation, and sophisticated grooves. The track became one of the group's best-known recordings and remains a standout example of the early-1990s London acid jazz sound.

Built around an infectious funk groove, "Apparently Nothing" blends deep bass, crisp percussion, funky guitar, keyboards, and soulful vocals into an extended arrangement designed as much for the dancefloor as for home listening. The Brand New Heavies were central to the British acid jazz movement, helping bridge the gap between live funk and the emerging club culture of the late 1980s and early 1990s.

The extended 7:58 version on the A-side allows the groove to develop at length, giving the rhythm section and instrumental details plenty of room to breathe. The same 7:57 version appears on the flip, making this a straightforward, DJ-friendly 12-inch focused entirely on the extended presentation of the track.

With its combination of funk, soul, jazz influences, and club-ready production, Apparently Nothing is an essential choice for fans of the UK acid jazz scene and collectors of classic soulful dance music.

Ideal for fans of Incognito, Jamiroquai, Galliano, Soul II Soul, Omar, and classic acid jazz, this is a highly playable 12-inch for DJs and collectors looking for authentic early-1990s groove-driven house and funk.
