"Feeling" - Inside the studio with Ebo Taylor, Adrian Younge & Ali Shaheed Muhammad
“Feeling” is Ebo Taylor’s earnest tribute to the meaning of life: love. With heart wrenching vocals over a syncopated drum pattern, a pulsating organ reminds us that no matter what, our hearts beat as one. This song has a togetherness that represents the undeniable bond between its creators: Jazz Is Dead founders Adrian Younge and Ali Shaheed Muhammad with Ebo Taylor and his musical family. “Feeling” stands out as one of the most vulnerable and personal vocal renderings from Afrobeat legend Ebo Taylor.
“Collaborating with Ebo Taylor is definitely a bucket-list accomplishment. For me, it is the equivalent of working with musical genius Fela Kuti, because of how much I have studied both of their work and influence on the genre of Afrobeat. Seriously, recording the genius to analog tape while highlighting the raw recording styles of 1970s Africa is a dream I never thought could come to reality! It was also great to work with Ebo’s son, Henry Taylor, who is a true musical force in his own right.” – Adrian Younge
The swirling horns and gritty guitars heard on Ebo Taylor JID022 are reminiscent of his seminal seventies recordings that made him one of Africa’s most prolific and revolutionary artists of all time. Recorded inside of Younge’s Linear Labs studio, this album captures polyrhythmic percussion and twangy, fuzzed out guitars that prove that rhythm is key. The ensemble of Ghanian background vocalists emanates a uniquely spiritual sound that takes the listener back to Ebo’s prime.
