6 tracks.

Joss Stone

Less Is More

A teenage Joss Stone leans into a lilting, reggae-kissed soul groove and sings about wanting less with the husky authority of a singer twice her age.

Jain

So Peaceful

Zanaka's gentle closer, a reggae-tinged sway where Jain lets the album's travels settle into calm, sunlit contentment.

Jain

Hope

Jain's light, sing-song voice, her own drum programming and Yodelice's bass and trombone carry a small, sunny plea for a better world, the title track of her first EP in 2015.

Groove Armada

Superstylin'

Groove Armada's 2001 single fuses house with dancehall, reggae and dub over a speed-garage bassline, with MC M.A.D. on vocals and a live horn section; a UK number 12 and a 2003 Grammy nominee.

Caravan Palace

Lone Digger

Caravan Palace's 2015 single fuses 1930s-style swing with club beats and Zoé Colotis's voice, and its animated video of a brawl in a bar full of animals made it one of the most-watched electro-swing tracks ever.

Jain

Makeba

“Makeba” by Jain is an upbeat, irresistibly catchy tribute to the South African singer and activist Miriam Makeba, built on a Hamilton Bohannon sample, a call-and-response refrain and bright, home-programmed pop.
