ezra collective - you can't steal my joy

Forget the blues, it's time for joyful noise with Ezra Collective's "You Can't Steal My Joy" (2019)! This London crew isn't afraid to throw a musical genre party with a mix of Afrobeat, Latin rhythms, hip-hop, and a dash of grime. It also features special appearances from soul royalty like Loyle Carner, KOKOROKO, and Jorja Smith.

This album is a celebration of their London roots, their heritage, and the unadulterated joy of making music. “You can steal a lot of things from us - our ability to travel freely, our access to education, our right to a level playing field, even our ability to live life at its full potential - but as long as we don’t forget our core truth, You Can’t Steal Our Joy,” explains Femi Koleoso, the band leader.
