YolanDa wanted an album that reflected the current climate of the world, with the underlying message that Love conquers all. Following her biggest ever nationwide tour ‘Reggae Love Songs”, she went into the studio in London to record the album.

The new album is a delicious fusion of reggae, jazz and soul… a new genre that YolanDa labels “Posh Reggae”. Love Politics War, is the sophomore album release from the UK’s premier female saxophonist YolanDa Brown. ‘Zem Audu showed off a terse, purposeful sensibility, a smokily nuanced tone and compositional fluency, ranging from Monty Alexander-style Jamdown jazz, to colorful postbop, funk and more. Recorded at Avatar Studios in New York with guitarist Mike Stern, pianist Benito Gonzales, Ben Williams on bass and John Davis on drums, Audu’s eleven original compositions crackle with ingenuity, spirit, and groove as they celebrate the life experiences that inspired them. Inviting you to feel the atmosphere of the city streets, the blazing sunshine of the Caribbean, and the soulfulness of Nigerian culture, the visceral impact of his experiences with a wide-range of musical greatness – Jason Moran, Mike Stern, Hugh Masekela, and his international tours with the legendary Skatalites – is wildly evident on Spirits. Born in Nigeria, raised in London, and now living in Brooklyn, saxophonist Zem Audu possesses a deep well of influences to draw from for his debut recording.
