"Until We Are Free is the debut album from fabric, a collective of musicians from diverse backgrounds united by a shared goal: to fuse irresistible rhythms and grooves with a direct, socially conscious message that draws vital attention to the contradictions of modern life. The project's name itself evokes the idea of a living, dynamic ensemble -- a creative intertwining of different threads, from musical genres to founding musicians and guest collaborators, all actively woven into the social fabric. The record blends funk, soul, and Afrobeat with a sharp, contemporary urban attitude, resulting in a sound that functions simultaneously as sonic resistance and an invitation to the dancefloor. It finds its place in a lineage that runs from Fela Kuti and ESG to The Comet Is Coming, Sault and Jungle. At its core is the conviction that music and civic engagement can coexist seamlessly without being didactic. While the lyrics -- entirely in English -- tackle themes of rights, equality, and freedom, the groove remains the heartbeat: constant, pulsing, and relentless. Mixed by Tom Campbell (whose credits include Sault, Little Simz, Adele, Michael Kiwanuka, and Jungle) and featuring art direction by Raissa Pardini, Until We Are Free is a soundtrack for complex times. It is an invitation to refuse neutrality and isolation, and to imagine -- together -- new possibilities for movement, resistance, and the future."
