Ezra Collective
Here Because Of Hope
The most ambitious and personal record of their career, conceived as a body of work split into three spiritual and geographical movements, tracing the movement of Black people across continents and decades, from the music of Africa to the rhythms of the Caribbean, and home to the streets of London.

Antony Szmierek Service Station At The End Of The Universe
Our favourite album this year comes from an artist following in this storytelling lineage. An album with its heart in the city, and its feet on the dancefloor.
