Fink - See It All

Fink returns with the second single from his 3rd album of his Ninja Tune Records trilogy, Sort of Revolution. See It All, one of the album's signature tracks, is blessed with falling piano lines, pulsing electric bass, and a driving rhythm which combines relentless propulsion with sublime subtlety. Q&A finds Fink in a deeply soulful and moody a cappella, building a tune from his own vocal parts - layers of harmony buzzing through your ears, as warm and rich as it is clever and hypnotic. Both of these tracks were recently recorded live on Fink's latest Gilles Peterson Maida Vale session for BBC Radio 1, while the LP version of See It All has just been confirmed as the opening track on the season premiere on the longstanding and now infamous TV show CSI:NY.

Press Release :
Fink returns with the second single from his 3rd album of his Ninja Tune Records trilogy, "Sort of Revolution."

"See It All," one of the album's signature tracks, is blessed with falling piano lines, pulsing electric bass, and a driving rhythm which combines relentless propulsion with sublime subtlety. "Q&A" finds Fink in a deeply soulful and moody a cappella, building a tune from his own vocal parts - layers of harmony buzzing through your ears, as warm and rich as it is clever and hypnotic. Both of these tracks were recently recorded live on Fink's latest Gilles Peterson Maida Vale session for BBC Radio 1, while the LP version of "See It All" has just been confirmed as the opening track on the season premiere on the longstanding and now infamous TV show CSI:NY.

Remixes come from D*L*I*D (fresh from their stunning remix of Phoenix's "1901" single, this remix is only their second!), Emika (Ninja Tune's latest signing, bringing Berlin heaviness to the table), and Fink's dub alter-ego, Sideshow (critically lauded and internationally sharing 12's with Martyn, remixing Appleblim, and releasing albums on Aus Music). D*L*I*D channels the spirit of J-Dilla, turning the original into a super-heavy head-nodder. Label-mate Emika turns the original into a dark and brooding epic that builds towards a huge finale – a la Massive Attack with serious skunk-paranoia. Sideshow once again showcases Fink's production cred with an echo box and compression chamber, skillfully stripping the parts and fitting them together into brand new shapes.

Fin Greenall, aka Fink, is among the more understated of the world's 'singer-songwriters', relying on uncompromising quality of work and an astounding stage presence, rather than major label marketing budgets. A master lyricist and in-demand songwriter, having most recently co-written with John Legend for Legend's 'Evolver' LP as well as two of Ninja Tune's latest signings: Andreya Triana and Emika. Currently touring the UK with band mates Guy Whittaker on bass and Tim Thornton on drums, Fink is as hectic as ever with a tour of France throughout October; November spent in China, Hong Kong, and Vietnam; the USA in December; and Australia (including 3 headline evenings at the Sydney Festival) and Japan in January.

See It All / Q&A, taken from the Sort of Revolution LP, is released on Ninja Tune records on 19 October as a download only....

"Mean moody and magnificent. One of the most original singer-songwriters around." Clash

"Captivating." Q
"Surprises when you least expect it. Sort of Revolution refuses to succumb to the obvious." Mojo
"Smoulders with a slow, intense heat." Metro
"Quietly captivating." Uncut
"Incredible talent on the cusp of globe straddling success." Swell
"An idea laden, sublime study in the art of pleasing yourself without drowning in indulgence." BBC Music

Speech Debelle - Freedom Of Speech
(CD/LP/Digital) Big Dada Recordings BD193, 2012-02-06

Two years since winning the 2009 Mercury Music Prize for her debut album, Speech Therapy, and having ridden a rollercoaster through life since then, Speech Debelle is ready to drop her second collection of music. Entitled Freedom of Speech, the album sees Speech turning from introspection to stand up, face and engage with the world around her, spitting confident themes of revolution and love. A first taste of the album came in the aftermath of this summer's riots, when Speech reacted immediately, leaking the track Blaze Up A Fire, (also featuring Roots ManuvaRealism), a track about political revolution written months before. Now the build-up begins to the release of Freedom of Speech in early February 2012 with the free download of the track Studio Backpack Rap. From political to musical revolution, Speech describes the track as being "all about virtual instrumentation and an ode to KwesSpeech Therapy, while showcasing just one aspect of her remarkable new album.
