Melodies International's next record features a previously unreleased collaboration between the Ariwa camp (Mad Professor's label and studio) and rising UK R&B artist Abel Miller - a Lovers Rock cover of the classic 1960s Philadelphia soul track "Everytime I See My Baby" by The Delfonics. A few years ago, Mad Professor teamed up with frequent collaborator and multi-instrumentalist virtuoso Black Steel - who regularly records bass, guitar, keys, and vocals for Ariwa Studios ("he can play anything" Mad Professor tells us) - to record a series of Lovers Rock covers of songs by The Delfonics. Mad Professor's love for 60s and 70s US soul is no secret and shines through much of his production, but he realised he had never heard this particular song, originally written by Thom Bell and William Hart. For the session, they brought in Ashanti Selah on keys and Horseman on drums, with Abel Miller delivering the lead vocals. Mad Professor and his son Joe Ariwa recorded and produced the track. Since their first reissue project with Mad Professor a few years back (Ariwa Sounds: The Early Sessions LP), he has occasionally performed with the Melodies crew - most recently on Floating Points' Sunflower Soundsystem this past summer. At their Osaka gig a couple of years ago, he closed the show with this track, immediately blowing everyone's minds. When asked what it was, he told the team that Melodies could release it! The 7" single will be available in November, featuring the original studio version on one side and the live dub version Mad Professor performed in Japan on the flip (vinyl exclusive). Mastered by Frank Merritt at The Carvery, with printed sleeve artwork by Nevil Bernard.
