Cody ChesnuTT returns to One Little Indian to release his first full album of material in a decade !

Universally acclaimed for his edgy, lo-fi, Shortlist Prize nominated 2002 debut, The Headphone Masterpiece, Cody ChesnuTT is a soul troubadour whose frank, socially conscious songs continue to set the bar for what modern soul music can look and sound like.
Following a period of family-man retreat and reflection after his meteoric rise to near fame, via The Roots retooled The Seed 2.0, Cody marks his return with a brand new album, Landing On A Hundred.
A full-blown tower of soul and driving brass stabs in the Mayfield/ Gaye tradition, lead single That’s Still Mama reflects on a misspent youth - one of several poignant narratives that feature on Landing On A Hundred as it sketches out a man’s road to redemption after years of womanizing and crack addiction, and the power and labour of slow-burning marital love that eclipses mere material expressions of affection.
The title is a reference to the slang saying, “Keeping It One Hundred,” or telling the whole truth, and for lovers of true blue Southern soul this new album is a must-have — he recorded it with a ten-piece band in Memphis-based Royal Studios, the sonic birthplace of some of the deepest works by soul and blues luminaries like Al Green, Buddy Guy and Ike & Tina Turner.
