Eeeee

Amidst the fervent anticipation of the release of Stac's long awaited second album (due in the spring of 2014) our favourite soulful songstress has found the time to gather together ten of her favourite pieces of contemporary music for your delictation, in the shape of the third instalment of the "Allo Love" series.

Stac is a real music lover (not a fighter) and her selection exemplifies the breadth of her knowledge, and her perfectly pitched taste. A sonorous collection, it kicks off in grandiose style with music from The London Bulgarian Choir, no less, and remains in deep musical waters with the Matthew Herbert produced Hejira, trumpeter and friend Matthew Halsall and close contemporaries, Natural Self and Blue Daisy.

You'll also find a quartet of cherry picked Wah Wah 45s nuggets, with music from The Gene Dudley Group, Henri-Pierre Noel, Lea Lea and Scrimshire fitting perfectly into Stac's personal soundtrack, and the latter's cut also featuring the lady herself on fine vocal form. 

Finally, Stac also appears on a stunning downtempo delight from the mysterious William Sommers with whom she duets on the delicate "Delight", a tune that sums this compilation up perfectly. Enjoy.

Henri-Pierre Noël - Simbi

The great singer, activist and soul sister Sandra Izsadore is back in the mix. She graced the international music stage on 1976's 'Upside Down' and has worked with  legendary artists Fela, Osibisa, Ginger Baker and many more. She influenced Fela to write about and focus on cultural matters of Africa, the Afro-Diaspora and human rights. She helped Fela conceive of Afro-Beat in 1969 in Los Angeles. Pleasuremaker wrote this song channeling Fela Kuti, Sandra and the history that tied this moment together as we face the most blatant disregard for human lives, human rights and for the struggle all people of color and poor and working class folks face all around the world each day. A new day is dawning, we must recognize where we have been and where we are at to ever truly make a brighter world.
This track highlights what is happening on earth right now in 2015 and has been an ongoing struggle for justice world wide.

Please take the time to share this track, this IS what is going down right down.
We dedicate this song to Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, Sandra Bland, Freddie Gray, Eric Garner, Treyvon Martin, and the countless other innocent victims of murder, police brutality, and racism.

It’s been almost a year since Izo FitzRoy burst on to the scene with her debut single and ever since, this charismatic soul songstress has built an ever-growing fan base off the back of tireless touring and a series of strong singles from her debut album ‘Skyline’. Her winning combination of raw and powerful vocals and direct and honest lyricism has seen her gain support from the likes of Blues & Soul, Uncut, Eton Messy  and Echoes to name a few.

Written during her time living in New Orleans the title track from the album has become her live calling-card and this single package really packs a punch with not only the original version but three heavyweight remixes to accompany it. 

‘Skyline’ is an emotive and empowering gospel-tinged ballad that sees Izo deliver a message of how staying hopeful and focused on the future when going through troubles can help you overcome anything. The delicate and subtle instrumentation is perfectly contrasted with her soulful vocal lines and uplifting lyrics.
