Zara McFarlane's fringes on the borders of reggae, folk and jazz; where she uses her incredible, award-winning vocal ability to tell stories, against rich jazz melodies and vibrant rhythms. In preparation for her upcoming album Songs Of An Unknown Tongue Zara has dropped new single 'Everything is connected', with production from Wu-Lu and Kwake Bass. Big, bass-heavy and dubby production made up of beats and eerie jazz keyboards booms like Zara's wise and powerful vocals, that tell us: "everything is connected, although you can't see the roots that hold us". 'Everything is connected' is a powerful and deeply moving song, whose message blasts as strong as the musical foundation on which it's laid. We can't wait to hear the rest of Songs Of An Unknown Tongue, which is to be released via Giles Peterson's label - Brownswood Recordings on July 17th. -Ellie Rose-Davies
