Alton Ellis - Baby I Love You: The Collection. Here's where soul meets the sunlit sway of Kingston: Ellis delivers emotion with elegance. Each track a study in feel and phrasing; warm and honest. There are voices that rise to meet a genre, and then there are voices that create one. Alton Ellis belongs to the latter. With a sound that bridges Kingston's humid breezes and Harlem's gospel steeples, Ellis brought to rocksteady what Nat King Cole brought to jazz vocals-grace, restraint and taste. Baby I Love You: The Collection is a quietly luminous document, a portrait of a man who refused to stop singing love songs even in the face of changing cultures.

In 1979, Neil Fraser (artistically known as Mad Professor) founded Ariwa Sounds, the longest-serving and one of the most influential independently owned Reggae studios and record labels in the UK. From humble beginnings set up in the front room of Neil's home in South London recording on 4-track and homemade equipment, Ariwa would go on to record and release over 300 albums including works from some of the most impactful and storied artists of their time in the genres of Reggae, Dub, and Lovers Rock. Whilst our previous release in collaboration with Ariwa captured the label's early sound, a shared performance with Neil in Osaka and regular visits to his South London studio inspired us to assemble this 15-track compilation, showcasing the label's output across 45 years. Our release emphasizes some of the label's greatest vocalists: Johnny Clarke, Sandra Cross, Kofi, U Roy, Sister Nancy, Queen Omega, Aisha, Garnett Cross, Abel Miller, Horace Andy and more - presenting the Motown and Stax influences in the Lovers Rock, but also provides a glimpse into the dubbier and more experimental side of the label, showcasing Ariwa's commitment to quality but also their personality, philosophy and their humour. Love songs, break-up songs, socially engaged songs, dub experimentations - this compilation is not a "best of" Ariwa but a diverse and honest celebration of the label through the lens of Melodies International. The compilation will be out in July in vinyl 2xLP, CD, digital formats, mastered from the original tapes by Frank Merritt (the Carvery), pressed at Optimal, artwork created by Jason Evans with design and assembly contributions from Nevil Bernard and Will Sweeney, animated teaser by Nevil Bernard and Melozine designed by Mafalda Meireles.
