Description
The new album from Mercury Prize winners Ezra Collective – Dance, No One’s Watching.
Dance, No One’s Watching is an ode to the sacred, yet joyous act of dancing, an album that musically
guides you through a night out in the city, from the opening of possibilities as a new evening spans out
ahead, to dawn’s final hours as the night comes to a close.
Written during a blistering 2023 which saw Ezra Collective tour the world, and become the first jazz act
to win the Mercury Prize, Dance, No One’s Watching is a documentation of the many dance floors they
encountered. From London to Chicago, Lagos to Sydney, dance and rhythm connect us. These songs are
a testament to that spirit.
The album was recorded at Abbey Road Studios, where the band was surprised by a group of close
friends and family, turning the sessions into a live communal celebration of love, music, and dancing.
Dance, No One’s Watching is a record that speaks to the unifying power of dance. Set for release in
September 2024, it is a powerful and distinctive addition to a catalogue that continues to blaze a bold
new trail in contemporary British music.
