WIN - Jazz FM's Album of the Week
We're giving away five copies of Blue Lab Beat's Blue Eclipse
Grammy-winning duo Blue Lab Beats, one of the fastest-rising production duos in the world right now, announces the release of their eagerly anticipated fourth studio album, “BLUE ECLIPSE”. The prodigiously talented duo who ended 2023 by selling out KOKO and picking up their second MOBO Nomination, got 2024 off to a stunning start with the sumptuous soul groove of their new single “Wait A While”, featuring Grammy-nominated Amber Navran, LA-based singer/producer, and founding member of Neo-Soul trio Moonchild, and rising UK Neo-soul artist Farah Audhal.
“Blue Eclipse” heralds an exciting new era for Blue Lab Beats, and the 12 songs reveal the depth and breadth of producer NK-OK and multi-instrumentalist Mr DM’s musical ambition. Featured guests include Mercury Prize-nominated Kojey Radical alongside Daley on “Take Time,” IDK & Jay Prince on “Say Wow,” Amber & Farah on “Wait A While,” and Poppy Daniels on the title track.
“We called this album Blue Eclipse as a nod to Blue Skies, our first EP. We wanted to embrace some themes and sounds that we’ve used throughout our career and make an album that truly represents us. Using sky titles acts as a reminder of people in our lives who inspired us and left a very important mark on us. We wanted to welcome old friends as well new ones onto this project and we are so happy with everyone’s amazing contributions.” Blue Lab Beats.
Starting out as bedroom producers, remixing tracks for A-listers such as Dua Lipa and Rag’N’Bone Man, on to supporting the likes of Roy Ayers and Thundercat, and producing on Kojey Radical’s ‘Reason To Smile’, Blue Lab Beats have been dreaming big from the beginning. Their 2018 debut album ‘XOver’, a brilliant blend of analog and electronic sounds, included the track ‘Pineapple’, which amassed over 10 million streams alone, while 2022’s ‘Motherland Journey’ proved a work of great musical ambition and imagination featuring vocals from the late great Fela Kuti, as well as one of a kind artists Tiana Major9, Ghetto Boy, Ego Ella May, Kofi Stone, and Pip Millet.
