Wah Wah 45s present a limited edition vinyl special from Afro-dub masters, Soothsayers. With a history that goes back
three decades, having released two classic LPs (Tradition and We Are Many) and numerous EPs and remixes on the
imprint, the band deliver two brand new and exclusive versions of one of the highlights of their new LP, entitled Fly
Higher.
Love Will Find a Way features vocalists Maia Avery and Akin Soul, both former members of Youthsayers – a South
London based music performance and education group, taught by Soothsayers band members. With new mixes by
acclaimed Sao Paulo based producer Victor Rice, it’s a stepping reggae vocal duo piece with a strong, universal
message asserting that despite the current divisive political rhetoric and the championing of greed over human empathy
by those in power, love will always be a more powerful force than hatred and division. Maia and Akin Soul’s distinctive
voices blend and weave beautifully over a hypnotic groove with a fresh and poignant emotional energy contributing to
what should be a future steppers classic. These previously unreleased mixes are available in both vocal and dub
versions on hand-stamped 7-inch vinyl and Bandcamp only.
“We are so proud and happy to be able to feature Maia and Akin on this beautiful song. Both are former members of
Youthsayers, the youth music education organisation set up by Soothsayers in 2016. Maia (from recent Wah Wah 45s
signings Kotoa) and Akin are now great artists in their own right and it feels very satisfying to feature them on this new
Soothsayers release.” Robin Hopcraft (Soothsayers)
