Soulful nostalgia gets a reimagined sound through the deft production skills of Jimmy Scott Free who may have spent the past decade away from the spotlight, but it’s clear he hasn’t lost that creative edge. Featuring the late house legend Kim English, ‘Turn Back Time’ is a powerful reminder of how dance music can be more than beats and samples, it can have a true emotional core that reaches out to the listeners’ hearts and souls. Built on floating synths and grounding club rhythms, this is such a euphoric soundscape over which Kim’s unmistakable voice glides.

‘Turn Back Time’ also signals Jimmy’s renewed purpose within the house music space, reaching back into the 00s where he cut his teeth promoting club nights before going on to share stages with icons like Groove Armada, Peter Hook and The Light, and Skunk Anansie. Now, based between the Midlands and Barcelona, Jimmy shakes off the disillusionment that led him to take a step back from music. You can really hear that rediscovered enthusiasm coming through the cathartic buoyancy of this track, yet it’s filtered through the producer’s seasoned expertise. Whether for late-night revelries or daytime pick-me-ups, ‘Turn Back Time’ is designed to move both body and soul.

“This is a new chapter, but the fire’s still the same. I’m doing this on my own terms, but with a lot more focus this time around.”
