*SHANTEL: PLANET PAPRIKA - OUT NOW & ON THE ROAD!*
[image 1 300x300]
The party has started... _*Shantel's*_ border-breaking European pop fiesta of a second album _*Planet Paprika*_ is out, and has been leading a merry dance down the stuffy corridors of the UK press ... most of which (with one amusing exception) have been unable to resist its cheeky, all-inclusive charm:
_"Unique among musicians, Shantel has his own planet ... where music is a force for good and it's fun, fun, fun all the way ... it's high camp versus Romani cool, and there's never a dull moment"_
_*Word*_
_"Behind both the comedic crowd-pleasers and the brilliant musicianship lies an original talent"_
_*Observer*_
_"Outright dumbness, tedious beats and embarrassing rapping in a language that insults the tongue of Shakespeare, Dylan and Jay-Z"_
_*The Times*_ (oops)
Well, now you can find out for yourself: _*Planet Paprika*_ is available on Greedbag now on CD - and also, for those lucky DJs and collectors, on sweet and shiny limited edition 180 gram vinyl, complete with remixed and remastered tracks for extra dancefloor pleasure!
