BLUE LAB BEATS Motherland Journey

2LP Black Vinyl

London based duo Blue Lab Beats release their new and most ambitious album to date : Motherland Journey. The two producers and musicians assemble an all-star lineup ranging from Afrobeat star Ghetto Boy to rising stars such as Tiana Major9, Pip Millet, Ego Ella May, Kofi Stone and much more. They broaden their inspirations from their trademark Jazztronica and masterfully blend afrobeat, New RnB and Soul.

The LPs title track, features Ghanaian production talent Killbeatz and vocals from late Afrobeat icon Fela Kuti. Co-written in Accra, Ghana with Ghanaian production talent KillBeatz during a late night production session, Motherland Journey is might just be Blue Lab Beats most ambitious track yet, with the vocals of none other than that of Fela Kuti taking centre stage and the estate of the musical pioneer giving BLB their full blessing to release the song.

The vocals are taken from Felas Everything Scatter, while the single represents the first time the duo have really honed in on incorporating their jazz sound and merging it with sounds from the motherland, including amapiano. The release coincides with Blue Lab Beats Grammy nomination for their work on the Angelique Kidjo album Mother Nature.

An album that has quite literally been years in the making, Motherland Journey is the result of tireless days in the studio a celebration of pushing boundaries, taking risks and overcoming adversity.

Out on 25th February, it will feature recent singles Labels featuring Tiana Major9 and Kofi Stone, Dat It featuring Kiefer, Sensual Loving featuring Ghetto Boy and Blow You Away (Delilah).
