To celebrate the anniversary of Marula Cafe, a famous spot in Spain, a special 7-inch single has been released as a collaboration with the label Lovemonk!!! First and foremost, be sure to check out the B-side, “At The Queensboro” (sample 1)!!
Lovemonk and Barcelona’s Marula Café bring back their Marula Soulfood 7" series with two standout tracks taken from The Jade’s debut album, "Love Harder". Behind The Jade is Oli Stewart, aka Casbah 73, leading a transatlantic ensemble of top-tier musicians equipped with heart and heat, bridging worlds while remaining firmly centered around home base Madrid.
‘Let The light In’ is a radiant burst of sunshine and a riotous cross-pollination of sounds. Nebraska’s Josh Hoyer delivers a powerhouse vocal performance, soaring over exuberant rhythms and fluid grooves that feel right at home in sweat-filled basement clubs or an open-air set as the sun dips low over the horizon. On the flip, ‘At The Queensboro’ is a beautiful jazz-funk instrumental that stretches out with elegance, giving its wonderful groove plenty of room to breathe. It was highlighted as one of BBC 6 Craig Charles’ favourite tracks of 2025.

Enjoy the superb, top-notch groove of “Tighten Up”—the classic Archie & the Drells track, also well-known from the YMO cover—reimagined as an organic, elegant, and upbeat jazz-funk instrumental! ! Side A’s “Let The Light In” (sample 2), brimming with radiance like the sun pouring down and energetic dynamism, is also passionate and soulful.
