He's since moved on to the much bigger label XL Recordings, and releases the awesomely titled debut album 'Ratchet'. While he was making the album, Shamir moved into the Brooklyn underground venue Silent Barn. GodMode founder Nick Sylvester produced the album which is based on addictive rhythms and bold pop magic. It's full of house, disco, pop, gospel - and that voice. Think a stunning mix of Sylvester, The Slits, Gorillaz, Prince and Nina Simone.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"XL","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50493003235659,"sku":"387713","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50493004087627,"sku":"387714","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/cfa1bd0e-da51-49de-8a7c-e59380b35beb_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727694897"},{"product_id":"ten","title":"Ten","description":"\u003cp\u003eShamir’s \u003cem\u003eTen\u003c\/em\u003e is both a tribute to friendship and a communal passing of the torch.
