The live jam session sees Dayes and Mist play alongside guitarist Mansur Brown and bassist Rocco Palladino in a single take at the prestigious recording studio.

Speaking to FACT at the time of its original release in 2018, Yussef Dayes said: “To be able to record this live session in the legendary Abbey Road studios was a beautiful moment. Growing up in the big smoke, we’re used to recording in basements and bedroom studios, so to get the opportunity to elevate our sounds in this space was something we couldn’t turn down!”

Dayes also released his debut album, Black Classical Music, last Friday (September 8) via Brownswood Recordings. The 19-track album sees features from Chronixx, Masego, Jamilah Barry, Tom Misch, Elijah Fox, Shabaka Hutchings, Miles James, Sheila Maurice Grey, Nathaniel Cross, Theon Cross and the Chineke! Orchestra.

In celebration of the album release, Dayes hosted a pop-up shop in Soho, London. The free event featured instore performances, meet and greets, signings and even a yoga session.

‘Love Is The Message’ is available to purchase now on 180g heavyweight black vinyl via The Vinyl Factory.
