In 2007, McAlmont provided backing vocals for Gabrielle's album "Always", with Paul Weller on a song called "Why" which sampled Weller's "Wild Wood". Butler approached McAlmont to provide backing vocals for Duffy on "Rockferry" and for Sharleen Spiteri. "A Little Communication", his follow-up to the first McAlmont And Butler album was digitally reissued on 23 June 2008 on iTunes. A performance of the complete album was hosted by the London Jazz Festival on 16 November at The Jazz Cafe in Camden.
