Here Because Of Hope is the new album by Ezra Collective, the London group and winner of the Mercury Prize and the BRIT Awards. Conceived as a journey in three movements - from Africa to the Caribbean, and then to the streets of London - the record celebrates the richness of Black music and its ability to transform pain into joy. Featuring collaborations with Pa Salieu, Lila Iké and Leona Lewis, Ezra Collective delivers its most ambitious and personal album to date: a warm, vibrant and deeply human record, driven by jazz, groove and hope.
