UB40 Return

Special Ops reports: On the 25th anniversary of their recording debut, the multiplatinum British eight-member reggae supergroup UB40 are returning to their musical roots with their new album, WHO YOU FIGHTING FOR?, to be released Jan. 24 on Rhino Records. The 13-track album, which Mojo Magazine called a “return to form for the UK’s best selling reggae act,” features tight arrangements and frontman Ali Campbell’s heartfelt, distinct vocals at the fore of a collection of originals and five covers of classic 70’s era soul and reggae. Much of the album features songs infused with political, spiritual and romantic messages such as “Plenty More,” “Sins Of The Fathers” and “One Woman Man.” The album has already garnered two Top 40 hits in the UK with the Indian-flavored “Reasons” and “Kiss and Say Goodbye.”[see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story

Mylo is Coming

Cornerstone reports: Hailed in the U.K. by NME and Q as "the saviour of dance music" and "whip-smart electronic eclecticism", Scottish producer/artist Mylo will cross the Atlantic and make his stateside debut with the innovative Destroy Rock Roll on Breastfed Records February 7th.

Growing up on the remote Isle of Skye, Myles MacInnes a.k.a. Mylo, submerged himself in music. The isolation gave him a unique perspective that energized his creative juices and gave way to the heart-pounding Destroy Rock Roll. Previously released in the U.K. on Breastfed Records, Mylo's own imprint, Destroy Rock Roll is a lush body of work containing a multitude of textures. The landscape of the album is vast, from the feel good sway of 'In My Arms' to the funky body moving staccato of 'Drop the Pressure'. The February 7th U.S. release will feature exclusive music and the new U.K single 'Doctor Pressure' (Mylo vs. Miami Sound Machine) which entered the U.K. chart at #3.[see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story
