Ezra Collective team up with Lila Iké on new single, "Well Organised"

1 week ago 16



The new song follows lead single "Only Love" featuring Pa Salieu, offering another glimpse into a collection of tracks which trace the movement of Black music across Africa, through the Caribbean and ultimately into Britain. While "Only Love" took inspiration from West Africa, "Well Organised" is where the album begins to turn lean into the sound of the Caribbean.

Discussing the origins of the song, drummer Femi Koleoso explains: "I was spending time with the Kinetika Bloco Youth Club; they were playing steel pans and the most beautiful line caught my attention. I recorded it on my phone and lived with it. It had the emotion and beauty that I associate with dancehall, bashment, reggae and so many other beautiful sounds that come from Jamaica. We began to build stories, melodies and rhythms one by one. When it felt like home, we called our sister Lila Iké to furnish the house with love and good vibes."

Alongside the single release, Ezra Collective has also announced their biggest global headline tour to date. The tour includes dates across Australia, Asia, the United States and Europe before the band return to embark on their largest UK tour yet, which will conclude with two back-to-back nights at London's O2 Academy Brixton in March 2027.
