M.O.
Preach

Operator Records

WE SAY

We’re proud to say we’ve been there from the start with M.O. It’s two years since we first featured the UK R&B trio's Ain't Got Time. Then came 2014's For A Minute (which was co-written by Jess Glynne) and they’ve delivered consistently addictive street-wise pop. Now signed in the States to Universal Publishing, everything is falling into place with this massive tune - imagine Snoop & Pharrell's Drop It Like It's Hot in a sort of mash up with George Michael's effortlessly cool I Want Your Sex. Radio 1’s Track Of The Day today (April 9) and added to their playlist as well as Kiss this week too, it's the one to take them mainstream after much specialist love from Mistajam and key tastemaker blogs like Hunger, The Fader and St. Heron. They have also picked up strong TV support from Capital TV, The Box Plus Network, AATW TV, MTV and Chart Show TV. They’ll be performing alongside Stormzy live later this month and are appearing at The Great Escape in May. Once this starts racking up substantial airplay, then you'll know your summer can truly begin and this will be one of its anthems.
