MAKIN066 – Wipe the Needle featuring Lifford ‘Kissing You’

Posted on by

As you can probably gather we like working with Wipe the Needle, and for this latest outing he’s back with his good pal Lifford Shillingford re-creating an old 80s track, Kissing You originally written by Keith Washington from the album Make Time for Love.

Kissing You is a big favourite of Liffords and he felt it could be brought to life again in a soulful house production. The song fits Liffords voice so well and as per usual the production from Wipe The Needle is first class while not taking too much away from the original song.

This release will be available exclusively via Traxsource.com from Monday 24th April, and then all other sites on 22nd May 2017.
Writing and production

Written by Keith Washington, Marsha Jenkins, Rodney Shelton
