Best known for her 2008 UK Top 20 hit Heartbeat (also sampled on Rita Ora’s R.I.P) and winner of Best African Act at the MOBO Awards in 2009, Nigerian born singer Nneka releases her latest album, My Fairy Tales 
which focuses on the artist’s roots and Afrobeat side.
Known for speaking her mind in her music, My Fairy Tales tackles subjects as varied as the politics of her Nigerian birthplace through to her own personal voyage of discovery. 
Mixed by James ‘Bonzai’ Caruso (known for his mix of Method Man ft.  Mary J Blige’s ‘You’re All I Need’ and his work with Damian & Stephen Marley), the album’s opening cut, Believe System speaks of the need to connect with your roots. 
On this track Nneka’s highly expressive vocals firmly place her amongst global songstresses like Neneh Cherry, Erykah Badu, Lauryn Hill and the like. 
Second track Babylon tells of regional plight in West Africa over a Fela-type Afrobeat/highlife groove. Next is the first single from the album My Love with its lilting reggae beat and personable lyrics about positive love. 
Other key tracks on the album include Local Champion, about her hometown of Warri, Nigeria, the optimistic and spiritual Surprise plus the ska influenced Pray For You, in which Nneka speaks of the healing powers of forgiveness.
Bringing the album to a close is Book of Job, with its charismatic chorus vocal and finally In Me - two excellent reggae cuts which clearly exemplify this global artist’s talent pedigree.
My Fairy Tales sees Nneka with a new confidence and maturity in both her song writing and performance. All this from a career that has seen her collaborate with the likes of Massive Attack, Lenny Kravitz, Tricky, Ziggy Marley, and more. 
Nneka toured the States in 2010 alongside Nas and Damian Marley (as Distant Relatives) after an appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman earlier that year and has also had singles “Shining Star” and “Heartbeat” remixed by 
Hot Chip’s Joe Goddard and Chase & Status respectively.
Nneka will be promoting My Fairy Tales throughout the year with a European tour in spring that sees one UK date at the Village Underground, East London on April 7th - a date for the dairy if ever there was one.

Brooklyn Attractors - Green Mango - [Rootfire World Premiere]

Reggae comes from Mento, Ska and Rocksteady. When Reggae invented dub and toasting, it gave America the technology and ideas which led to Hip Hop's emceeing (later known as rapping) and scratching. Thus Hip Hop was born. Even Gangsta rap came from Dancehall — both speaking about the violence from their neighborhoods.

Now let's take the thing full circle, and have a modern, fast rapper toasting over a punchy & roots ska instrumental! It'll be anachronic for sure, but might be deeply groovy too… cos' it's all nothing but the good stuff.

This "Champion Sound" tune is a piece of art for sure, but it ain't gonna end in a museum though. Instead, it's gonna bring some heavy duty MADNESS on the dancefloors not afraid to tear the roof off !!

In two weeks, Paris DJs' crowdfunding campaign to press this gem on VINYL (along with two handfuls of other musical mischiefs from Chicagoan rapper RacecaR and French producer Grant Phabao) will end.
