Released in 2020, Demae's 'Life Works Out... Usually' is the perfect fit for anyone with an appetite for 80s soul and new-age R&B. Featuring appearances from Fatima, Joe Armon-Jones, Ego Ella May and Nala Sinephro this collection pulls together some of London's most impressive, and they don't disappoint. - Hunter
Life Works Out...Usually' is a soothing antidote to these turbulent times; a soulful coming-of-age story celebrating black joy, self-empowerment and life learnings centered around an integral two year period of growth and featuring appearances from Fatima (Eglo Records), Joe Armon-Jones, Ego Ella May and Nala Sinephro — all part of our close-knit, London-based musical community.
Sonically, it draws a unique line between the grit of inner-city London soul, interstellar Flying Lotus electronic rushes and new-age Dilla-isms mixed with flecks of London’s exciting jazz-influenced sounds. Production comes from rising producers like Eun (Ego Ella May, Denzel Himself), Jake Milliner (Slum Village, Lord Apex), 104.ROG (Liv.e, THEESatisfaction) and Wu-Lu (Ego Ella May).
