**Instrumental version of this stunning album!**
There has always been a Reggae influence in the music of El Michels Affair - from their cover of 'Hung Up On My Baby' done in that style, to the general sound and approach that permeates through their production style. While recording Liam Bailey's 'Ekundayo' album, they did some straight forward reggae tunes inspired by different eras alongside some modern R&B tracks that would fit more comfortably next to Frank Ocean than Jacob Miller. It is this same notion that old and new can live so comfortably together that birthed the idea of 'Ekundayo Inversions' - highly recommended!
