2nd album from Irish neo-soul group Danny G & the Major 7ths. Featuring an all star cast, 16 musicians in total. Conceived for vinyl but also available digitally.
The Lookout is a natural progression from the retro soul feel of debut Love Joints (2014) to a deeper, more mature, richer sound, evoking the classic neosoul artists of the 2000s.
