Ezra Collective - Dance, No One's Watching (2LP Vinyl)

The Mercury Prize-winning Ezra Collective return with their most ambitious work yet, a sprawling double album that captures the essence of their electrifying live performances and pushes their sound into bold new territories. Dance, No One's Watching is a joyous celebration of movement, freedom and the transformative power of music.

Across 16 tracks spanning two records, the London quintet blend contemporary jazz with Afrobeat rhythms, creating an infectious groove that refuses to stay still. From the vibrant energy of "Palm Wine" and "God Gave Me Feet For Dancing" to the introspective moments of "Hear My Cry" and the uplifting closer "Everybody", this album showcases the band's remarkable range and musical maturity.

Led by drummer Femi Koleoso and featuring the virtuosic talents of TJ Koleoso on bass, Joe Armon-Jones on keyboards, James Mollison on tenor saxophone and Ife Ogunjobi on trumpet, Ezra Collective have crafted a record that feels both deeply personal and universally resonant. The album's title serves as an invitation to let go, to dance without inhibition and to embrace the pure joy of being present in the moment.

Released in September 2024 on Partisan Records, this double vinyl edition presents the album in its full glory, with warm analogue sound that captures every nuance of the band's dynamic interplay.
