Duke Special hits the road

Listed in Q's Top 100 albums of 2006 and one of the most original new acts to emerge in the last twelve months, Duke Special is poised for even greater success with his stunning new single 'Freewheel', released February 5th. Taken from the critically acclaimed LP 'Songs From The Deep Forest', the new single is a luscious, opulent gem that bristles with incandescence, grandeur and emotion…something that has become synonymous with the wonder of Duke Special.

Written by Duke and mixed by Andy Green, 'Freewheel' is one of the LP's most deftly impressive moments and effortlessly separates Duke from his peers. Available on CD, DVD and to download, each format comes with exclusive bonus material.
