Tony Allen - Too Many Prisoners (Elewon Po)
(Digital single) World Circuit, 2009-05-11

The legend of Afrobeat, Tony Allen brings us Too Many Prisoners (Elewon Po), the first glimpse of his new album Secret Agent, out on World Circuit on 8th June. Too Many Prisoners stays true to Afrobeat's original, trademark embrace of protest lyrics, urging resistance to oppression, and features Tony himself on lead vocals. Secret Agent, a majestic slice of hardcore roots Afrobeat, is Allen's debut for World Circuit and his first release since he became a founder member of The Good The Bad and The Queen (alongside Damon Albarn, Paul Simenon and Simon Tong).

Speech Debelle - Freedom Of Speech - out on Big Dada Recordings

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.
