GRAMMY AWARD-WINNING P-FUNK SUPERSTAR BOOTSY COLLINS JOINS SIRENS OF LESBOS FOR ‘8 BILLION’
Slow, slinky and sensual, ‘8 Billion’ takes a cosmic-eye view of Spaceship Earth, the carrier of each of us living here. So who better to accompany Jasmina and Nabyla Serag, Sirens Of Lesbos’ vocalists and co-producers – alongside producers Melvyn Buss and Arci Friede, and Denise Häberli, the group’s art director – than intergalactic space cadet and international envoy of funk Bootsy Collins?
Originally written without any guest, it was Melvyn who envisioned it featuring Mr Bootzilla himself – and, unbeknownst to the rest of the band, sent an email to his management. Three weeks later it was on, Bootsy’s distinctively melliferous, mellow tones bringing Sirens Of Lesbos into a canon of collaborators that stretches from Dee-Lite to Bruno Mars and Anderson Paak.
‘8 Billion’ is the last track on Sirens Of Lesbos’ forthcoming album ‘Peace’ which features a wide-range of other guests, including platinum selling hip-hop producer Christo (J. Cole, JID, Earthgang), Erick The Architect, MC and producer with Brooklyn’s cult hip-hop crew Flatbush Zombies, Washington DC vocalist and songwriter dreamcastmoe, and British-Nigerian poet-cum-singer Joshua Idehen.
