ELIZA ROSE & MJ COLE 'BUSINESS AS USUAL' 12"

A little later than anticipated, but the vinyl part of this release from last summer is finally upon us!! The legendary MJ Cole meets Eliza Rose on the classic MJ Cole cross-over UK Garage style..

Proof of the magic within UK underground club culture, the Hackney-born vocalist, producer and DJ, Eliza Rose returns today [Wednesday 3rd April] to announce her forthcoming 4-track EP Business As Usual. Coming on Wednesday 24th April via Rosebud Recordings/One House, this EP will see her connect with her pre B.O.T.A. roots of her label, Rosebud Recordings, as she melds her main music influences - Jazz and Soul meets UKG. To celebrate the announcement today, she shares the title track “Business As Usual (9-5 mix)” featuring the godfather of garage himself MJ Cole and a shining example of her skills as a writer, producer and singer.

Speaking on the title track, Eliza says:

"It was an incredible experience to work with MJ Cole. I've admired his talent in production and DJing for such a long time and it was a dream come true for me to collaborate with him on “Business As Usual”. I was amazed by his versatility and his approach to creating more of a Neo Soul-focused track in the studio and we were both aligned in wanting to create more of a downtempo song with a UKG flip that would bring back the old-school early 90s vibes."

MJ Cole adds:

"Working with Eliza is a musical dream packed full of colours, ideas and inspirations. We took a different approach with “Business as Usual” - the slower version was meant as a working track to create a song at a slower tempo which would gather energy when injected at a UKG tempo - similar to R&B vocals being sped up within remixes. We loved the initial track so much we had to release it and I donned my remixing cap to make the UKG version. Eliza really shines in this track - her soul sister roots rising up in a blaze of glory!"
