New Street Adventure - What Kind Of World? (2025)

Acid Jazz Records are excited to announce the return to the label of one of their most beloved bands of recent years, New Street Adventure. Fronted by Nick Corbin, the band are set to release their first new album since 2017, ‘What Kind Of World?’ out 29 August.

Signed by the label in 2013, the band’s debut album, 'No Hard Feelings' was released in 2014 and followed in 2017 by 'Stubborn Sons'. Thereafter they took an extended break and Corbin decided to venture out as a solo artist, forming his own label Big AC Records, working with some the very best UK soul talent as a producer and songwriter.

New Street Adventure reunited to tour the UK in Autumn 2024 to mark the 10-year anniversary of their debut, No Hard Feelings (accompanied by the Acid Jazz Reissue). The experience, coupled by accompanying Aaron Frazer on his 2024 promotional tour, inspired Corbin to return to the studio and record a new New Street Adventure album.

'What Kind Of World?' is the most ambitious album the group have recorded to date, encompassing Corbin’s deep love and obsession with soul music.

Produced and arranged by Corbin himself, it was recorded at The Cube in London. He was joined by an array of outstanding musicians, including original New Street guitarist Billy Farr and backing vocalist Carmy Love, Florian Bel (bass), Sahil Batra (Wurlitzer and synths), Carl Hudson (Hammond), Michael Hussain (drums), Mama’s Gun’s Terry Lewis (guitar), Pete Whitfield (violin), a horn section comprising of Dominic Glover (trumpets, trombone) and Andrew Ross (saxophones – and flute and piccolo). It was engineered by Laurie Sherman and Mitch Ayling, and mixed by Colemine Records associate Rafferty Swink (following Aaron Frazer’s recommendation).

This incredibly talented ensemble have created a luscious, contemporary soul album, and marks the triumphant return of New Street Adventure to the airwaves.
