PENGUIN PRISON, “Hang On To Your Love”
Penguin Prison (aka New Yorker Chris Glover) has impeccable taste, as his choice in covering Sade’s first single “Hang On To Your Love” so aptly proves. It’s been a while since we’ve had new Penguin music while Chris has been touring just about everywhere in the past three years, whether for a live performance or DJ set. But something’s brewing, much needed after his marvelous and diverse self-titled 2010 album, featuring decade classics like “The Worse It Gets”, “Golden Train”, and “Don’t Fuck With My Money”, which dominated my personal chart in 2011-12. When Sade arrived with this song (and I have the original 12″ vinyl (pic below), it sparked the trend of an “old club sound” in the mid-80’s, and I believe she and her Grammy-winning band were ultimately the only survivors of that niche-genre. Penguin Prison has opted to bring out the urgency of the song through an early 80’s disco vibe – and you will be hooked, I guarantee. Download it and dance away using the Soundcloud link above 🙂
