LOVE REIGNS SUPREME IN SOOTHSAYERS’ MESMERISING ‘LOVE IS STILL THE ANSWER’
London’s Afro-dub explorers Soothsayers tear open the sky with Love Is Still The Answer, a raw, hypnotic cut from their forthcoming album Fly Higher, out via Wah Wah 45s.
Three decades deep, this crew refuse to soften their edge. Julia Biel’s vocals smoulder across a thick, bass-heavy Afro-soul groove, while brass lines stab through like urgent questions. Every element moves with a restless energy, coaxing your feet to the floor and your mind to higher ground.
THIS IS SOUND AS A LIVING PULSE
The track throbs with life, an unfiltered surge of rhythm and warmth that feels almost ritualistic. It breathes, reminding us that love is a force to be claimed, not just admired from afar. Each harmony pushes us closer to the heart of things, urging us to feel the connections we keep forgetting.
This is sound as a living pulse, a shared heartbeat echoing through crowded streets and late-night dance floors. Soothsayers have created a groove that sticks to your skin and refuses to let go, a fierce reminder that love still cuts deepest, no matter how loud the world gets.
ABOUT SOOTHSAYERS
