Singer, songwriter, humanitarian, activist, poet, philosopher, artist as the music legend Labi Siffre releases his first album of new music in 28 years, Demon are celebrating where it all began with this 3CD set from his firstdays as a hitmaker. To say Labi is enjoying something of a renaissance in 2026 is an understatement last year saw him amass 21M streams for his plaintive love song Bless The Telephone alone, driven in part by its featuring as the music for a viral ad campaign for the Bumble dating app. In fact, the TikTok / Insta generation have responded in their millions to Labis music as featured in cult film The Holdovers and iconic shows like Dr Who, Better Call Saul, and Hacks.1970-1971 brings together the first two studio albums Labi Siffre, and The Singer And The Song, plus a bonus disc of B-sides and rarities originally featured on the now-deleted My Song box set from 2020. With self-penned songs like Make My Day and A Little More Line and sensitive covers of the Bee Gees Words and Harry Nilssons Maybe, the debut, Labi Siffre, from 1970 showcased an obviously rare and special talent. Later that years follow-up, The Singer And The Song was an even stronger set of entirely new compositions including When Im On My Own You Are On My Mind, Thank Your Lucky Star and, yes, Bless The Telephone.In Labis future lay megahit covers by Madness (It Must Be Love), anthems like (Something Inside) So Strong, samples by Eminem and Dr. Dre (on My Name Is), and an ever-growing generation of Gen Z music fans. But here is where it all began.
