Superfly Studio proudly presents its milestone 50th release – the single Fool For Love. The track is produced and composed by Marek Bogdański, better known as Dreadsquad, with vocals and lyrics by Dub Princess – a charismatic singer born in Northern England, known for her mesmerizing voice.

Fool For Love is the vocal version of Ethiopian Rhythm, originally featured on Dreadsquad’s album Reggae From The Desert, released in December 2024. The recording features a stellar lineup of musicians: Piotr Zabrodzki on piano and Hammond organ, Kubix on guitar, Alex Hazas on horns, Adam “Bzyq” Brzęczek on drums, and Marek Bogdański himself handling bass, arrangement, mixing, dubbing, and mastering.

This is the third collaborative single from Dreadsquad and Dub Princess, following their earlier tracks Too Much Juggling and No Walls. The song also serves as a preview of their upcoming joint album, scheduled for release next year.

The single has just been sent to the pressing plant and will be released as a limited edition 7-inch lilac vinyl – a must-have for collectors and lovers of analog sound.
