Here Because Of Hope LP

Ezra Collective's fourth album runs on the same five who turned a jazz combo into an arena draw, Femi Koleoso on drums, TJ Koleoso on bass, Joe Armon-Jones on keys, James Mollison on sax, and Ife Ogunjobi on trumpet. In 2023 they became the first jazz act to win the Mercury Prize, then added MOBO and Brit wins. They pass the mic like a house party, Pa Salieu on "Only Love," Lila Iké on "Well Organised," Leona Lewis on "All I Need," and Libianca on "Most High," with Letitia Wright reading the spoken-word parts.
