Debut albumby these two women who have been backing up Sharon Jones under the pseudonym “The Dapettes" !

Look Closer, which features both tracks from the single, is the culmination of Saun & Starr's work at the House of Soul. Its all-analogue production and masterful, rich instrumentation are hallmarks of The Dap-Kings, who perform on every track. Though the overall mood of Look Closer is joyous, there's plenty of variety to be found within, from the dramatic attitude of 'Your Face Before My Eyes' to the sparkling 'Sunshine' and the sultry ballad 'In The Night'. Saun & Starr's cadences intertwine beautifully on 'Gonna Make Time' against a percussive backdrop, while 'Big Wheel' is a perfect showcase for their individual vocal talents, from emotive belting and storytelling to call-and-response and those perfectly balanced harmonies.
