The 7:45's
List Pick
June 22, 2026
Manchester collective The 7:45s make music that feels like it was built for a room full of people, and 'I Want You, Say You're Mine' is no different. Taken from the just released Spin Off, a nine-track deluxe companion to their acclaimed 2025 debut Spinning, it arrives as part of a project that continues to cement the collective as one of the most exciting things happening in the Manchester scene right now. There's a warmth and looseness to the track that speaks to real musicianship; the kind of song where you can hear the hands on the instruments and feel the energy of the ensemble behind it. The horn and rhythm sections do exactly what they should, propelling things forward with a soul swagger that sits somewhere between Northern Soul and classic Motown. What makes it particularly interesting is the final minute, where the track drops to almost half time, a subtle shift that gives the song an unexpected depth and lets the feeling settle before it's done.
