'The Adults' are, sort of, a Kiwi supergroup. The founder is Jon Toogood from 'Shihad' and a bunch of collaborators including Shayne Carter, Julia Deans, Anika Moa and many many more. The guest vocalist on "Nothing To Lose" is Ladi6 and she is still on a creative high, after winning the Taite Music Prize for her album 'The Liberation Of' earlier this year. The rhythm section on "Nothing To Lose" is just fantastic. A timely change of direction for Jon Toogood, after 22 years with Shihad. This is probably just a one-off project before he goes back to record another album with Shihad. The main thing is that he seems to have reinvigorated himself musically... and managed to get the best out of the collaborators as well. Brilliant!
