Bleeds

Description

Not only one of the UKs greatest musical artists but also an outstanding lyricist, Roots Manuva is back with a dazzling new album, Bleeds.

Roots Manuva has sold nearly a million records worldwide.

With his sixth studio album, Roots Manuva has made his most emotionally affecting and powerful release since his breakthrough, Run Come Save Me.

Drawing upon production assistance from young British producer Fred, together with musical heavyweights Four Tet, Adrian Sherwood and Switchs new production team With You, the title of the record is, in the mans own words, an egocentric jest of daring to do things in the tradition of Jesus: Im ready to bleed for the artform. It is, of course, also a reference to the way in which genres, in the sonic world of Roots Manuva, have a tendency to bleed into one another so that hip hop, reggae, techno, funk and neo-classical all blend together to create liquid soul, the blood, the bleeds that paint infinite sacred wonders in our dreams and unfold in our day-today.
