Little Anthony And The Imperials’ 1965 soulful hit, ‘Hurt So Bad’, is a song that’s been beautifully covered many times over the decades – redesigned, repurposed and sampled by the likes of Grant Green, Nancy Holloway, Philly Devotions and Etienne de Crecy (“Prix Choc”). And now, fresh for 2025, London producer / DJ Dan The Drum has teamed with one of London’s freshest soulful voices, Carmy Love, on an outstanding cover, together creating a gorgeous slice of dance floor soul and celebrating the song’s 60th Anniversary whilst tastefully updating it for today’s soulful party people.

The result is a glamorous hip-swaying, finger-snapping groover, executed with the highest class of musicianship, including key wizard Darren Morris (North Street West), Joseph Nesbitt-Larking with his amazing jazz guitar vibes and Carl Davies, who delivers smooth sax performance on this stellar F*CLR release. There is also a series of exciting remixes forthcoming from soul guru, Terry Jones, remixer extraordinaire, Leo Zero, and Disco renegades, North Street West.
