A poet and singer-songwriter, Labi Siffre began his musical career in 1970, releasing six albums that decade. In 1971, he released the classic track Bless The Telephone (which has discovered a new audience on social media more recently), and his track It Must Be Love from the same year was later covered by Madness. He also had hits with I Got The... and in the 80s wrote the anti-apartheid anthem (Something Inside) So Strong.
Labi said: 鈥淚t's nice to be singing with the 麻豆社 Concert Orchestra at the 麻豆社 Maida Vale studios to millions of 麻豆社 listeners and viewers around the world. I've always enjoyed recording with the Maida Vale team and I hope you like the result.鈥
