Just in time to add a little oomph to the sensational New Years’ Eve parties, Sigma release their latest track ‘Sell My Soul’, featuring English-Irish singer-songwriter Maverick Sabre.

In recent years, Sigma have become a mainstay of the British house scene; their dance songs have found tremendous success in club dance floors as well as in mainstream radio and streamplay charts. Upon their meeting at Leeds University, members Cameron Edwards and Joseph Lenzie have consistently been mastering the moments, either DJing or recording music in the studio, and their fandom has only grown in recent years through the emergence of social media and music streaming platforms. 

They have stunned audiences with their rocking collaborations over the years, including hits with wonderful British artists like Paloma Faith, Labrinth, Ella Henderson, Rita Ora among others. Their latest involves the impassioned stylings of Maverick Sabre, whose abrasive, soulful voice injects the track with an added layer of power and intensity. The jazz influences in this track are unmistakable, the percussive arrangement laying on a steady beat that keeps the song from getting too fast or loud. Maverick Sabre’s reggae-infused runs allow the song to build without getting out-of-hand whereas Sigma’s production keeps this exciting and unforgettable. At this point in their career, they have got enough techniques in their bag to render any tune memorable for as long as needed. 

This could really be a defining moment for Sabre’s career, seeing how prominently he features in this song. Being the lead singer in a Sigma collaboration has become something akin to a rite of passage for many emerging artists in the UK, so Sabre will be hoping to capitalize on the success of this song and get a few shows in the next year. Speaking on what inspired him to become a musician, he says:

It was when I heard 'Stand By Me' for the first time. It made me want to write music with a real feeling and message. I was about eight or nine. My dad taught me the chords to it on guitar and from there I started writing songs."
