Widely regarded as one of the UK’s most influential musicians and a defining figure in contemporary British culture, Shabaka presents his third solo album, Of The Earth, which is released on the newly formed Shabaka Records. 

Written, performed, produced, and mixed entirely by Shabaka, Of The Earth marks a pivotal moment in the British bandleader and multi-instrumentalist’s artistic evolution. Where previous album ‘Perceive its Beauty, Acknowledge its Grace’ represented a withdrawal from familiar forms and a turn toward flutes, stillness, and collective exploration, Of The Earth is an album of integration and embodiment.

It establishes Shabaka as a singular instrumentalist-producer, synthesising the dance-driven propulsion of his groups Sons of Kemet and The Comet Is Coming with the textural, breath-led language of his recent solo work.

Over the past decade, Shabaka has reshaped global perceptions of British jazz and experimental music, moving freely between jazz, electronic, spiritual, and diasporic traditions.

Of The Earth stands as both a culmination and a grounding - self-authored, deeply embodied, and unconcerned with category - pointing toward a future defined not by genre, but by intent.
