Honne are a British electronic soul duo formed in 2014 in Bow, London, consisting of James (producer) and Andy (singer/producer) who both write, record and produce the music.

In 2015 they released their third EP, Coastal Love, on their own imprint Tatemae Recordings. Their debut studio album Warm on a Cold Night was released in 2016 through Tatemae Recordings. - Wiki

Limited vinyl LP pressing. 2016 release. With a string of EPs under their belt Honne return with their debut album Warm On A Cold Night. The slick East-London duo deliver their sultry, soul-drenched, synth-heavy project almost effortlessly as they marry together their broad range of musical influences. Lyrically the album stays true to everything we expect, with love, romance and relationships at the fore.

The 12-track product features old fan favourites, like album opener 'Warm On A Cold Night', which eases the album in for listeners, 'All In The Value', 'Coastal Love' and 'The Night'. Plus new tracks, 'Out Of My Control', the unapologetic funky track 'It Ain't Wrong Loving You 'Treat You Right' and 'Someone That Loves You', featuring Izzy Bizu.

“After just a handful of EPs, East London duo Honne have quickly established their status as connoisseurs of irresistibly smooth, baby-making electro-soul. And so it should come as no surprise that their debut is bursting with the stuff. From the moment the oozing radio voice ushers in the title cut with “…sit back and listen to Honne,” you’re transported: it’s nightfall and you’re parked up in the make-out hotspot of Hollywood Hills, city lights shimmering below.

‘Warm On A Cold Night’ is essentially a pick-up line delivered in Andy’s charmingly unfinished croak, wrapped in sensual synths and slick basslines. That’s not to say it doesn’t tackle a fair share of heartbreak, it’s just disguised by swoon-inducing choruses. So rest assured; whether you’ve got a lover in the passenger seat or not, Honne are gonna take you for a steamy ride.” - Clash Music
