THE WISE BLOODS, LONDON’S REALEST REGGAE PIONEERS, REVIVE THE SPIRIT OF LONDON SUMMER WITH “LONDON SUMMER LOVING”
The Wise Bloods’ latest release, “London Summer Loving,” brings together high-energy urban influences and a ‘hood’ attitude to make their presence known across international Reggae scenes. Inspired by the early days of London’s summer, the song captures the joyful essence of that moment when the warm sun emerges.
The Wise Bloods’ multicultural backgrounds, spanning Jamaica, England, and New Zealand, play a significant role in their music. They encourage listeners to focus on the positive aspects of London’s summer and seek strength within communities, avoiding potential negativity and senseless conflicts. Even though the song nods to violence, it is mainly about multicultural communities’ unique brilliance, authenticity, and interconnectedness.
The song’s verses provide a vivid snapshot of London’s summer scenes, showcasing a rich culture of foods and musical heritage, providing moments of harmony and joy, as well as the darker facets of the city, including an ever-present drug-based economy, homelessness, and drug addiction.
All of The Wise Bloods’ new project, including “London Summer Loving,” is recorded at the legendary reggae studio BBMC with critically acclaimed engineer Jaime Zugasti, renowned for his work with Reggae contemporary reggae stars like Protoje, Lila Ike, Aswad, Mortimer, and more. “London Summer Loving” is set for a digital release on all major platforms.
“London Summer Loving” is also the third single to drop from their 2023 project, “Eye Out For The Devil.” This innovative project comprises a series of songs, each accompanied by an alternative dub version, with re-released versions (or ‘riddims’) set to feature guest artists from the international Reggae scene. The culmination of this digital release journey is an eagerly awaited physical vinyl album, slated for early 2024.
The Wise Bloods have been making waves in the Reggae world, having garnered airtime on prominent radio shows such as David Rodigan’s BBC 1xtra, Ras Kwame’s Capital Xtra, SarahC’s Vibes FM, and Robert Elm’s BBC Radio London. They’ve also earned well-deserved features in esteemed Reggae publications, including Reggaeville, Rootfire Intl, and Irie Mag. Their electrifying performances have graced iconic venues like the White Rock Theatre, O2 Islington, O2 Oxford, South Bank Centre, Fox and Firkin, and the legendary Boomtown Festival.
