!!! will be releasing their new LP Thr!!!er April 30th via Warp Records, and in anticipation of the record the band has put out a second single for preview, “One Girl/One Boy“. The new track finds !!! creating pure disco gold. The band needed a “diva-type” singer to accompany Nic Offer‘s vocals for the song, so producer Jim Eno suggested Sonia Moore. After hearing Sonia sing on a track by Texas rapper Mr. 3.2, the band invited her down to Public Hi-Fi where they became fast friends. “While getting to know her, we found out she sang the highly legit “Hey Hey!” hook on MC Hammers “2 Legit 2 Quit”. She toured with Hammer for 2 1/2 years as a singer/dancer..a lot of that time on a package tour with TLC, Jodeci, & Boyz II Men.” Since the recording Sonia has played with !!! in NY and Austin at SXSW, and the band reports, “…she’s an absolutely fantastic performer and it’s great to be on-stage with her.” !!! has added tour dates to their massive world tour later this Spring and Summer, so don’t miss them below.
