Unsung Irregular
First Word - Cat No: FW340
- updated:2025-12-18
Endorsed by Quantic and Gilles Peterson, Manchester-based producer/multi-instrumentalist Werkha returns with his long-awaited third album, "Unsung Irregular" — his first in three years — out now on First Word Records!! A gifted talent whose music crosses beat-down, slow-motion grooves with the almost-dissonant chord sensibilities of post-James Blake R&B soul pleasure and the broken-beat feel of post-bass/dubstep/UKG, all coming together in refreshing fashion.
Track List
"Unsung Irregular" was made as an introspective exploration of his own scoliosis, themed around nature and healing, unfolding a gentle sonic world of delicate, introspective crossover grooves spanning nu-jazz, electronica, folk and blue-eyed soul.
Highlights include A3 "Narrow In (ft. Daudi Matsiko)" (sample1), featuring Daudi Matsiko's gentle, delicate falsetto; B2 "Everyday (ft. Ríoghnach Connolly)" (sample2), a dreamy two-step electronica nu-soul cut featuring Ríoghnach Connolly's vocals; and the beautiful B4 "Humour This" (sample3), a soulful, dreamy downtempo beat-down piece laced with strings.
