Not only one of the UK’s greatest musical artists but also an outstanding lyricist, Roots Manuva is back with a dazzling new album, Bleeds. The most emotionally affecting and powerful release since his breakthrough, Run Come Save Me, the record draws upon production assistance from young British producer Fred, together with musical heavyweights Four Tet, Adrian Sherwood and Switch’s new production team With You.

In the man’s own words, its title is an “egocentric jest of daring to do things in the tradition of Jesus: I’m 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.”
