Limited to just 30 White Label Copies and this might just be the only way to get this release in a physical format. One of Rough trade Shops tips for 2019. Nigerian-born East Londoner gets all soulful and sad over modern sonics on his debut album Our Father. His dark sonics and intimate vocal style has already been used on well-received hits and collaborations with Massive Attack and Gorillaz. Our Father makes much-needed statements on race on Britain, masculinity and mental health and transforming the black musician stereotype.
Includes unlimited streaming of Our Father
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics
[verse 1]
Young and married
Wish the honeymoon lasted an extra day
Before we start a family
A part of me wants to go back someday
[Bridge]
I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna press you against the wall, love you until your body starts to shake
I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna lay you accros the floor, find new ways to make love once again
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Oh, I remember, when we were careless and free
Now seems like a memory
‘Cause we got a baby here to stay
[Chorus 1]
Don’t wake the baby
Don’t wake the baby
[Verse 2]
Young and married
The only family man amongst my friend
Although I’m happy
Sometime alone would nice by ourselves
[Bridge]
I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna press you against the wall, love you until your body starts to shake (your body starts to shake)
I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna lay you accros the floor, find new ways to make love once again (the love we keep on making)
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Oh, I remember when we were careless and free
Now seems like a memory
‘Cause we got a baby on the way
[Chorus 2]
Don’t wake the babies, gotta creep in, been all the grind all day
Might get a mortgage, a big old house with rooms for the kids to play
‘Cause that’s the way it’s supposed to be
Right?
[Outro]
Don’t wake the babies
Try not to wake the babies (try not to wake the babies)
Don’t wake the babies
Try
I love it though, don’t, don’t get me wrong, I love it, I-I love it, I love it

When Sufjan Stevens and James Blake get in on the act, you know something is going on for a debut album. Big scope, cross genre neo soul and art pop mix with superlative vox to create a singular debut! Ralph Douglas
