about

An enormously talented singer and songwriter, Shara Nelson’s voice came to define a whole epoch in British music in the 1990s. This track was her first recording, cut when Shara was still a teenager, and began a sporadic 20 year relationship with On-U Sound that took in contributions to records by Voice Of Authority, Missing Brazilians, Singers & Players, Voice Of Authority and the belated launch of Adrian Sherwood’s own solo career in 2003. Credited jointly to Shara and Steve Beresford’s project The Circuit, it was the only official release in On-U’s ‘Mixout Entertainment Plates’ series, designed to explore “innovative dance music”. “Aiming At Your Heart” hasn’t seen the light of day since it’s first limited vinyl release, and with it’s combination of minimal breakbeat backing and soaring vocal pre-dates the singers more famous later work with Massive Attack on their Blue Lines album, co-writing and singing the classic “Unfinished Symphony”.

Shara continues to make music and is currently working on a new solo album. The only other release in the Mixout series was a test pressing by Akabu & The Circuit, later re-recorded for Tommy Boy Records and instigating the fateful meeting between Adrian Sherwood and Keith LeBlanc touched upon elsewhere.
