Entering the scene in 2017, the London based group of 4 nestles in a groove reminiscent of Tom Misch, and are definitely one to watch after being recognised as a BBC introducing track of the week.

Portobello have crafted a sound which is almost playful, where male and female vocals seamlessly dance with one another. The velvety blend of Andrew Burns and Lucy Bisset voices effortlessly connect with the fun and soulful instrumentation, which you can clearly tell is a product of masters of their trade. When speaking to Andrew Burns about the inspiration behind ‘Lose My Mind’, he revealed that the iconic guitar lines were the skeleton for the song, building the tune around the voice of the instrument. The guitar solo in ‘Lose My Mind’ speaks for itself, as it builds its contagious rhythm that left me craving more of the infectious funk.

‘Lose My Mind’ was recorded at ZigZag Studios, run by Harri Chambers. When speaking with the band they told me how Chamber’s is one of the most hardworking and passionate people they have met, and how fitting the track sounded paired with the studio’s rooftop views capturing the city. When listening to ‘Lose My Mind’, you can’t help but picture the city basking in the last of the late evening sun, keeping you mentally in summer for 4 minutes longer.
