In your arms, yes you've captured me That's the spirit of love Right there is where I wanna be Cause your love is keeping me Cause your love is keeping me The hunger is killing me now I can't wait any longer I need something in my life to arrive There you came, through that door Our eyes met, the dance floor, But I knew I wanted more Something clicked in my soul I wanted you, yeah And I had to let you know that In your arms, yes you've captured me That's the spirit of love Right there is where I wanna be Cause your love is keeping me Cause your love is keeping me The music went on and on That was only the beginning, cause we've only just begun My heart is pumping ever faster, I'm gonna make it a night to remember My heart was full of so much love And so much affection Never had a feeling like this before It’s a feeling I can’t ignore In your arms, yes you've captured me That's the spirit of love Right there is where I wanna be Cause your love is keeping me In your arms, yes you've captured me That's the spirit of love Right there is where I wanna be Cause your love is keeping me In your arms, yes you've captured me That's the spirit of love Right there is where I wanna be Cause your love is keeping me So move close to me Baby baby, move close to me Right there is where I wanna be Cause your love has seemed to capture me Right there is where I wanna be Cause your love has captured me In your arms, yes you've captured me That's the spirit of love Right there is where I wanna be Cause your love is keeping me In your arms, yes you've captured me That's the spirit of love Right there is where I wanna be Cause your love is keeping me Your love is keeping me Your love is keeping me Your love is keeping me Your love is keeping me

about

Following the rapturous reception of their first two singles, supported by Sherelle (BBC 6 Music), BBC Introducing Manchester, Colin Curtis and Colleen Murphy, LeFtO (Worldwide FM), Jazz FM and Bandcamp Weekly; Brownswood Recordings present ‘Captured’ the third single by Secret Night Gang released digitally on 23rd July 2021.

‘Captured’ exudes the feel-good, boogie down energy of a band originating from the raw essence of live jam sessions, an element that is quintessentially Secret Night Gang. The track celebrates the spirit of love, the euphoria of being captured in the arms of a lover. Good vibes only on this dancefloor, evoking Cheryl Lynn-like vocals with Chic-esque bass. Conceived by co-bandleader Kemani Anderson’s deep musings in 70s Disco & Funk, composed with a collaborative spirit, additional rhodes, synths and percussion, arranged with meticulous musicianship. Described by DJ, broadcaster and event curator, Colleen Cosmo Murphy, as “a joyous jazz-funk stomper that will set our resurrected dancefloors alight this summer”....”Secret Night Gang’s burst of positive musical and life energy is a cathartic antidote to the troubles of the last year.”

Secret Night Gang were handpicked by Gilles Peterson from Manchester’s vibrant live music community. Newly signed to Brownswood, 2021 is set to be the main stage for them to breeze on to the scene, as a multi-generational band breathing new life into the classic British street-soul sound, founded by singer/song-writer Kemani Anderson, multi-instrumentalist and song-writer Callum Connell. Kemani started singing as a child in the pentecostal church, he connected with Callum at school, where they played in the steel pan band together. Having a shared love of writing music they bonded by sharing their own influences from gospel, folk, soul funk and R&B. Encouraged by their music teacher Tom Burford (aka Rhythm Section’s Contours) they started attending jam nights like 'Jam Street’ and 'Matt and Phreds'. After a summer of endless late nights spent rehearsing and writing at Old Trafford rehearsal rooms next to a tramyard, decided to form Secret Night Gang. With the band expanding to include drummer Myke Wilson (52nd Street, The Jazz Defektors, Swing Out Sister), bassist Derick Juneroy (52nd Street) and Jack Duckham on guitar, the generations come together to carve out their own lane, a real celebration of exceptional songwriting and musicianship to expand on their indefinable eclectic sound.
