 The new song, available immediately on all online music stores, also features vocalist Sharn Adela and saxophonist George Whitmore.  Strip Studios' first two singles, also featuring Ravden on piano, were Sweet Dreams, and Thinking of You, both released earlier this year.

The contributors:

Strip Studios were founded in 1997 by Ray O'Neill and Shane McGuigan, songwriting partners since the early 1990's. They have written music for TV, award winning multimedia projects, and have produced numerous albums and singles, as well as composing their own solo tracks.

Sharn Adela has worked as a session singer on a wide variety of projects including TV and radio performances, and has performed internationally in shows which have taken her around the UK, Europe, Bosnia,Falkland Islands, Bahrain, Dubai, USA. Sharn has performed a number of solo shows for HM Forces.

Matt Ravden is a keyboard player and composer who has played with numerous blues bands over the years.  He met Ray O'Neill when both were members of the band 50/50 and the two have been exchanging ideas ever since.  Back with You is based on a piano tune Matt wrote a decade ago, but it needed Strip Studios's melodic expertise to bring it to life.

George Whitmore took up sax while playing with Brighton band The Dandies, joined 80s Brit-funk outfit Freeez and recorded with Tears for Fears. He took his horn to Amsterdam and spent two happy decades playing in Dutch jazz and blues bands. Now he's back in the UK and still blowin'.
