Children of the World by MF Robots
MF Robots build upon the success of their first single, Hello Sunshine, on their own imprint, Good People Records, with Children of the World.
What a euphoric Afro-soul-funk-filled release it is, filled with optimism, tight rhymes, and inescapable grooves the band is known for. This release follows their 2021 "Break the Wall" record, which was released to rave reviews. Collaborating for the first time while recording and performing with one of the UK's most successful Acid Jazz bands, The Brand New Heavies, in 2013, founder/drummer Jan Kincaid and vocalist Dawn Joseph discovered immediate musical chemistry and began writing songs together right away.
They soon left the band to concentrate on their own work, starting MF Robots (Music For Robots) and releasing an eponymous debut in 2018. The album was so well received that the duo soon morphed into a band as they found themselves in demand at venues and festivals all over Europe, including being personally invited on tour across Europe by Lenny Kravitz, himself.
"Children of the World" is a freewheeling fun ride, through a hazy summer block party, dancing, hanging out, a neighbourhood homage to simpler times, to innocence but also with a "Go get it, the world is YOURS" message to ourselves to not lose that youthful, driving energy for life, the sense that anything is possible, that we have when we are younger and less burnt by a tricky world….
We wanted this to have a kind of feeling like a freewheeling bike ride at sunset, not really going anywhere in particular but with the sun on your skin, losing yourself to a perfect moment…
Jan Kincaid
The forthcoming long player "III" represents a new sonic and song benchmark for Jan and Dawn, reflecting the MF Robots project coalescing and maturing while fine-tuning their material, both on the road and in the studio.
