Ezra Collective

Here Because of Hope (hmv Exclusive) Khaki 2LP

£29.99

Released: 18th September 2026. (hmv Exclusive) Khaki 2LP Ezra Collective's 'Here Because of Hope' is the most ambitious and personal record of their career - conceived as a body of work split into three spiritual and geographical movements, the album traces the movement of black people across continents and decades, from the music of Africa to the rhythms of the Caribbean, and home to the streets of London. Formed in the youth clubs of London, Mercury Prize and BRIT Award-winners Femi Koleoso, TJ Koleoso, Joe Armon-Jones, James Mollison and Ife Ogunjobi have now spent over a decade making jazz joyful, urgent and undeniable. On 'Here Because of Hope', they push that vision further than ever, asking a simple but profound question: why does so much black music born out of pain sound so joyful? Their answer is hope: the belief, carried across generations and oceans, that something better is possible.
