'Motherless Father': Lefto Early Bird's new album is out!

Author • Kemi Glover

Revered DJ and radio host Lefto Early Bird is back with his new album Motherless Father.

Across its ten tracks, the album sees Lefto delving deeper than ever, crafting a melancholic collection while throwing sonic shifts and shapes onto the dancefloor.

It’s a mix of the quiet and reflective; and the big, bold and beautiful, from the soulful opening of ‘Diane Charlemagne’ featuring the in-demand vocalist Iman Houssein to the Detroit vibes of latest single ‘Electric’. Elsewhere, the epic slow burner ‘Love Supreme (Part 1 and 2)’ unfurls with dreamy synths, mellow grooves and Aint About Me’s spoken word vocals across a seven minute odyssey, lead single ‘I Sing To Find Peace of Mind’ is a journey through uptempo jazz featuring Lefto himself on vocals and DJ/multi-instrumentalist Simbad on saxophone, while ‘The Birth of a New You’ and ‘One Day You Smile, One Day You Cry’ make the most of Pierro Spataro’s poignant saxophone tones.

"This record feels like the starting point of a new era; the tracks I recorded, the ones I’m singing over and the guests I invited have been my way to deal with the pandemic, the motherless child that I am and the father that I am”, Lefto says.

“I call this record a deep pre-club record, one that will give you the energy to go out there and party but with a feeling of letting go of everything."
