British singer Labi Siffre, renowned for his contributions to soul, soft rock, and R&B, has announced the release of his first album, 'Unfinished Business,' in almost three decades.
Labi Siffre, the British singer-songwriter known for his influence in the soul, soft rock, and R&B genres, has revealed plans for a new album titled 'Unfinished Business,' his first release in 28 years. At the age of 80, Siffre is set to share this fresh project with the world, which is expected to be available later this year. His last album, 'The Last Songs,' was launched back in 1998, marking a significant hiatus in his musical career. The lead single from the upcoming album, 'Far Away,' was previously introduced to the audience in 2022 during the documentary 'Labi Siffre: This is My Song' aired by the BBC. Until now, the song had not been available separately or on streaming platforms, but it has recently been promoted alongside a music video. This revival of interest in Siffre's work signals a return to the spotlight for the artist, who has shaped the music landscape with his unique sound and poignant lyrics. In support of the album announcement, Siffre delivered a live performance on BBC Radio 2 Piano Room, accompanied by the BBC Radio Orchestra. During this special event, he performed 'Far Away' along with 'My Song,' a major hit from his past, and a cover of 'Baby I Need Your Loving.' This engagement indicates not only Siffre's enduring talent but also his commitment to connecting with both longtime fans and new listeners through live music and storytelling.
