The Mercury Prize-winning British jazz group returns this September with the greatly anticipated follow-up to the award-winning Where Im Meant to Be. The first jazz group ever to win the prestigious accolade, their unique blend of jazz, calypso, afrobeat and roots has carried over into the two singles God Gave Me Feet For Dancing and Ajala.The former features up-and-coming star Yazmin Lacey, whose sudden scouting has made her a necessary one to watch in the British soul scene. Interpolating Nina Simones 1965 classic Feeling Good, the track proposes the group manifesto of dancing not just as an activity confined to the club, but as a God-given ability - an act of spirituality and community. Ajala, by contrast, is a fast-paced afrobeat-cum-bebop jam named after the Yoruba slang for being unable to sit still. Lucky fans were able to hear the recording live at the Beyond the Bassline exhibition at the British Library - with some of the live adlibs and crowd work being included in the single version currently on streaming. Pressed on an indie-exclusive deep red stain disc.
