The Estimations [2021] - Heart of Stone / Don't Go Kissing My Baby [Kimberlite #KIM-006]


A long-awaited new release from both Kimberlite and The Estimations who's "Can't Do This To Me" sold out quickly and now commands three figures on the re-sale market.

This is how Kimberlite describe the new single due for release on 10 Dec 2021 but available to pre-order from 1 Dec:

"The A side, "Heart Of Stone" brings fuzz guitar, 4/4 drums, and a Levi Stubbs lead with haunting backing vocals to set a Norman-Whitfield-psychedelia-inspired soundscape for repressed lovers.  If you’ve spent your life getting hurt, it’s near impossible to trust and give yourself to someone completely.  This song is a hymn for the inhibited, rejected and pained out there who aren’t ready to get back in “the ring”. 

Turn over the disc and "Don’t Go Kissin’ My Baby" maintains the Motown theme with a bouncy bubblegum-soul arrangement, this time more typical of mid-60s Frank Wilson or Smokey Robinson productions.  Not only are we still in Mr. Gordy’s sphere of influence, but we’re also keeping the continuity here with the subject of trouble in relationships."

Blue-eyed 'neo' Northern Soul ... I'll let you make your own mind up!
