Description
The new album, Freedom Fables, weaves soul - searching stories, cautionary tales, and parables for modern life. It's the most outstanding work by the Leeds/London collective so far. With great musicianship and lyrics, it seamlessly blends different styles of soul, jazz, and global music. Tom Excell says, 'Freedom Fables focuses on the power of narratives. Each vocalist on this record shares their own memories, and the freedom of expression supports our belief that music is the best way to unite people.' The album features music influences from our early years, with elements of broken beat, blunted hip - hop, highlife, Latin, jazz, and UK soul in the tracks. This album also has amazing guest appearances. Cherise, a regular collaborator, shines on 'Tittle Tattle', using sharp nursery rhymes to call out gossip. She also appears on 'Flow' about anxiety and the epic Brazilian jazz track 'Keeper'. UK jazz saxman Soweto Kinch adds a passionate alto solo and rhymes to 'Buckle Up' with the band's vocalist Nick Richards as they seek peace in life's challenges. Tom Excell says Soweto is a pioneer in the UK scene. Nick Richards continues the theme of hope on 'Wipe Away Tears'. Ghanaian legend Pat Thomas offers a beautiful blend of Accra and London highlife. New vocal talent Ria Moran takes on the delicate emotions in 'Morning Light', and long - time friend KOG brings his high - energy Afro dancefloor style.
