Wah Wah 45s welcome back one of the most popular and enduring acts on the label - Afro-dub masters,
Soothsayers. With a history that goes back three decades, having released two classic LPs (Tradition and
We Are Many) and numerous EPs and remixes on the imprint, the band finally unleash the first taste of
what’s to come from their third LP on the label (and eleventh album overall!) entitled Fly Higher - due for
release in September this year.

The first single is the title track itself - a vibrant Afrobeat jam packed with infectious, growling horns, a deep,
bouncy groove, and flashes of jazz improvisation. The band's signature call-and-response choruses are
lifted higher by soaring vocal contributions from British-Nigerian singer Lizzy Dosunmu and Dele Sosimi,
the London based, former keyboardist for Fela Kuti and a long-time collaborator and friend of the band.
Lyrically, Fly Higher sends out a powerful message: a reminder to hold on to our personal integrity in a world
where prominent public figures have lost theirs. Empathy and understanding can feel like they are being
drowned out by words of selfishness and greed, and the track challenges us to rise above it - to stay
grounded in real human values that nurture growth and progress. A soulful chant for positivity, to remain
mindful, and soar above the noise. Fly Higher, beyond the rhetoric of division, higher than the haters and into
a space where the optimism we need to flourish can be real.
