Presenting Crooked Stile, the third album from Crooked Man – aka Richard Barratt - the reluctantly acclaimed producer from Sheffield. The album stands as a statement of Barratt’s musical dexterity, vision and creativity… swinging confidently from deep, low-slung late-night club mutations to street-soul burners, floaty bangers and joyous, twisted house anthems. It is a body of work that could only come from Barratt: seasoned, sly and strikingly original. The album is a vivid, uncompromising work — equal parts dance-floor dynamite, emotional catharsis, and mischievous experimentation. One of the album’s brightest sparks — his reinterpretation of “Don’t Leave Me This Way” — has already become a defining dance-floor moment of the summer everywhere from Houghton to Defected to Love International and Glastonbury.
