'Just Say' is The Bamboos' featured vocalist Kylie Auldist's highly anticipated debut solo album on Tru Thoughts! Kylie's fresh, powerful and soulful style has attracted comparisons with some of the best soul and funk singers in the world, including Nicole Willis, Sharon Jones and Alice Russell. Having sung on past releases by fellow Aus kings of funk The Bamboos - like their latest single "I Don't Wanna Stop" - Kylie has seen the plaudits flooding in.

With masterful production by label-mate Lance Ferguson (Lanu/The Bamboos) and ultra-tight instrumental backing from The Bamboos, this album is a masterclass in pure, sweet soul, red-hot funk and every sonic stop in between.

Tracks like lead single "Community Service Announcement" showcase the power and versatility of Kylie's voice and songwriting, while the cover of Jeff Buckley's "Everybody Here Wants You" only adds to this depth and variety.

An intense slice of deep, atmospheric soul, in the version found on 'Just Say', Kylie's voice is packed with longing and smoky blues, and complemented by The Bamboos' horn section, taking a break from the staccato hooks and pouring on a generous layer of soulful harmony.

Kylie Auldist is a product of Melbourne's tight-knit music scene - upon hooking up with The Bamboos she has toured extensively throughout the UK and Europe with the group, before signing to Tru Thoughts for her debut album.

'Just Say 'is an album full of finds - sprinkled with Kylie's characteristically uplifting, sun-soaked vibe, and boasting backing vocals that feel like a blissful breeze, catchy, funky brass hooks and dance-the-night-away percussion.
