Also there's a new version of the video by NICK WILLIS soon too.Next Single is 'Brighter Days' on iTunes later this month with a more widespread release to follow. Remixes courtesy of DUMB DAN, TWISTED BITZ and JUMBO CLIPNext Door But One is the brainchild of producer and south London resident Orlando. Along with a few floating collaborators, Orlando is realising his musical vision by creating eclectic tracks that take in everything from funky disco, house and hip hop to indie and rock and deals with interesting subject matter in a humorous and thought-provoking way.Orlando was born in Reading (where, incidentally, Oscar Wilde once spent time in prison). He took a few piano lessons as a child but soon grew tired of old Mrs Harris's aggressive approach (to this very day he still anticipates a rap of the knuckles if his finger hits a wrong key) and taught himself. A few guitar chords and bass licks were picked up as a young teen and by the age of 15 he would sing and MC live with local DJs. After moving to London, Orlando (yes that is one of the names his parents gave him) played keys in a couple of funk outfits - while working as a minimum wager behind the counter in the home entertainment department of WH Smith - before forming indie/dub outfit Solid with singer Shura. In 2001 he embarked on a similar project with singer David Boomah called Nimbuster. Some hip hop projects followed but Orlando became disillusioned with the UK scene and the narrow mindedness that prevailed. So it was back to the bedroom studio where his genuine musical eclecticism was unleashed and Next Door But One was born. The result... well, you can hear the results.
