about
This is a cover of 'Mother's Love' by Emahoy Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou. As a grateful son, partner and father, I can't think of a better way to begin my release history than through celebrating and honouring motherhood. The process that all mothers go through to bring a baby into this world is truly courageous and monumental, and I will forever find my memories of birth humbling and awe-inspiring.
The track will be released on Mother's Day, 31st March 2019, and is available for free when you buy a ticket to my show at SJQ next week (check my Ticket tab for more info).
In special dedication to my friend Raisa, her partner Tony, and their son Ali who was born sleeping, all profits will go to Sands charity, who support anyone affected by the death of a baby:
Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
