Ali Campbell - Flying High

Recorded in London's legendary Sarm Studios Flying High is an exquisitely arranged and produced infectious reggae-pop record, made up of a mixture of original material and interesting covers, thoroughly exploring all genres of reggae music, with a release date that makes it a potential soundtrack to the summer.

An Ali Campbell record wouldn't be an Ali Campbell record without exciting collaborations, superbly written original material and some well chosen, transformed covers and Flying High won't disappoint. Ali restructures and shapes old pop classics with his inventive, artistic vision that only he could convincingly execute and the record includes appearances from an exciting cast of international artists including Craig David, Sway, Jamaica's Lady Saw and Shaggy, Germany's Gentleman and South Africa's Danny K & The Soweto Gospel Choir.

Soaring melodies and reggae rhythms glide and bounce along throughout the album with themes that include conspiracy theories, politics and love. The contagious and moving rendition of Out From Under highlights Campbell's world class vocal ability - the first single to be taken from the new album, this beautiful ballad evokes strong emotions and lyrically may help to shed some light on his departure from UB40. She's A Lady, a cover of Tom Jones' Seventies smash, sees a pair-up with dancehall superstar Shaggy, whose raspy Jamaican rhymes entwine with Campbell's huge soulful vocals so fluently and with such kick that you're left wondering why the two haven't collaborated before.
