Ever since they wrote Light Upon The Lake as Chicago froze around them during winter 2014, Whitney have tried to make the kind of songs they’d be jealous of if someone else got there first. You’ve Got A Woman, released on the B-side of Dutch duo Lion’s 1975 psych-pop 7” But I Do, is precisely one of those songs. “As soon as I heard it, I wished I’d written the vocal melody; it’s so catchy and powerful,” says singing drummer Julien Ehrlich. Whitney’s version is rich, instantaneous and deep in groove. Much like Whitney’s singles No Woman and Golden Days from last year’s debut, You’ve Got A Woman is brushed with longing, nostalgia and serves to slow down time. Unlike Lion, Whitney made it their A-side. Flip the 12” and you’ll find Dolly Parton’s Gonna Hurry (As Slow As I Can), a short, tearful love song hewn from piano, brass, guitar and Julien’s falsetto. Things have exploded for Whitney in a year and time on the road meant that even Chicago feels different now - relationships have changed, friendships have drifted but they can still retreat into their songs, snapshots of changing seasons that will always be comforting. The first new recordings from Whitney since their breakthrough debut album Light Upon The Lake.
