With its scattered, uptempo beat driving the track forward, the song juxtaposes its rhythmically playful foundation against poignant reflections on mortality and resilience. Thackray’s lyrics wrestle with heavy themes, moving between moments of despair and determination. The result is an audacious exploration of life’s fragility, delivered with raw honesty and wrapped in a percussive soundscape that feels simultaneously chaotic and cathartic.\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e“I think we need to talk about the dark shit in our heads, and finding the humour in it\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eonly makes that easier.

Emma-Jean grew up in a low-income, working class family.

Her rise to prominence included her self-released EP “Walrus” (2016) and the Jazz FM award-winning “Yellow” (2021), which solidified her position as one of the UK's most innovative musicians and saw her performing at iconic venues and festivals, from the London Symphony Orchestra to numerous Glastonbury slots.\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe new project heralds the start of a new musical chapter for Emma-Jean as part of the revered Brownswood Recordings (Yussef Dayes, Kokoroko).

The band saw these movies as heartwarming representations of black family, community and resilience that served as a balm for them as Londoners.

Initiated by DJ, broadcaster and curator Gilles Peterson in the late 2000s, Havana Cultura connected contemporary Cuban musicians with global audiences at a time when international perceptions of Cuban music were still largely rooted in the Buena Vista Social Club era. Instead, the project spotlighted a new generation of Havana-based artists whose sound drew from contemporary diasporic influences - neo-soul, hip-hop and reggaeton - seen through a distinctly Afro-Cuban lens. One of the project’s most explosive moments came with this Cuban reimagining of Fela Kuti’s classic Roforofo Fight, a track that quickly became a DJ favourite thanks to its live energy and deep rhythmic drive. The band features both Mayra Caridad Valdés (daughter of Chucho) - one of Cuba’s leading contemporary jazz and soul singers and internationally acclaimed pianist Roberto Fonseca. This new 12\" edition pairs the original version with a highly sought-after remix from house music legend Louie Vega, who brings his unmistakable New York Latin house touch, extending the groove for contemporary dancefloors while respecting the Afro-Cuban roots of the recording. The original remix pressing has since become highly sought after on discogs, making this long-awaited return to vinyl essential for DJs and collectors alike.

The four-track collection brings together a handpicked group of artists whose individual approaches blur the boundaries between a variety of genres and contemporary Brazilian sounds.

Just before the global spotlight landed on London's new jazz generation, Zara McFarlane was already forging her own path - connecting jazz, soul, reggae and Afro-Caribbean traditions with a confidence and clarity that remains striking nearly a decade later. Arise captures an artist operating with singular vision, creating a body of work that sounds every bit as fresh and forward-thinking today as it did on release.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe album also stands as an early landmark in the career of Moses Boyd, who produced and co-composed the record while serving as Zara's longtime drummer and musical collaborator. Years before his Mercury Prize-nominated breakthrough, Boyd helped shape Arise into a deeply personal exploration of heritage. The credit list is remarkable: Moses Boyd, Binker Golding, Shabaka Hutchings, Nathaniel Cross, Peter Edwards and Shirley Tetteh all contribute to a record that now reads like a roll call of British jazz royalty. The iconic cover shot was taken by Adama Jalloh, around the corner from Brownswood’s North London HQ.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUpon release, Arise was met with widespread critical acclaim. The Guardian praised “A Class Act\" and celebrated its exploration of African-Caribbean musical lineage, while Clash Magazine described it as “enchanting and intriguing”. All About Jazz called the album's fusion of jazz and Jamaican rhythms \"spellbinding\".\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs Brownswood celebrates its 20th birthday, we're proud to return one of the label's defining releases to vinyl, with the original copies being highly sought after. Pressed on limited edition gold vinyl, this special anniversary reissue is both a celebration of Zara McFarlane's artistry and a reminder of a record that was both ahead of its time, and whose influence resonantes today.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BIGWAX DISTRIBUTION","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":58989264437573,"sku":"BWOOD162LPG","price":32.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/4099\/1797\/files\/ZaraMcFarlane-ARISE_Re-Issue_-BWOOD162LPG-Mockup_1.jpg?v=1787671076"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/4099\/1797\/collections\/Brownswood_Recordings_logo_svg.png?v=1701190955","url":"https:\/\/miniwax.club\/en-us\/collections\/label-brownswood-recordings.oembed?page=2","provider":"Miniwax","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
