Brand New Heavies

The Brand New Heavies are pioneers of the acid jazz genre, with over three decades of musical output and millions of records sold globally. After their self-titled debut album in 1990 garnered attention, The Brand New Heavies, formed in 1985 by Simon Bartholomew, Andrew Levy, and Jan Kincaid, achieved breakthrough success with their third album, ‘Brother Sister,’ released in April 1994. The album peaked at number 4 on the UK Albums Chart and earned platinum status from the BPI. Its lead single, ‘Dream On Dreamer,’ became a crossover hit, charting in the top twenty internationally and receiving an MTV Video Music Award nomination for ‘Best R&B Video’ in 1994.

Looking ahead to 2024, The Brand New Heavies have announced a 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of ‘Brother Sister’ alongside a ‘Brother Sister 30 UK Tour’, reinforcing their significant three-decade musical output.
