Blue Lab Beats have made the release of the album 'Motherland Journey' and released a music video for the song 'Home'
Grammy and MOBO-nominated London duo Blue Lab Beats have released their long-awaited full-size debut album Motherland Journey.
To coincide with the release of the album attached music video for the song "Home." SPIN recently named the duo as artists to watch out for in 2022, stating:
"Blue Lab Beats create music using classical instruments and harmonic jazz with the fluid, beat-based aesthetics of modern electronica... In the album 'Motherland Journey', the duo touches on funk, soul, hip-hop and even Afrobeat... After a while, the distinctions fade away and the only thing that matters remains: the refined feel and atmosphere.
"'Motherland Journey' is a very special album for us," Blue Lab Beats say enthusiastically. It took us two and a half years to make this album, but it was worth it. On this album you will hear a fusion of genres and sources of inspiration. It wasn't easy to work on so many songs during the first quarantine, which was a challenge in itself. We had to come up with so many different ways to achieve exactly what we wanted in terms of sound. A lot of the vocalists and instrumentalists on this album are great friends of ours and it's so great that we got to have such a, family album.
"Blue Lab Beats, one of the most fast-growing production duos in the world, was nominated for a Grammy for his work on Angelique Kidjo's album "Mother Nature" and nominated for a MOBO for Best Jazz Artist in 2021. "Blue Lab Beats" consists of producer NK-OK and multi-instrumentalist Mr DM.
