The song received its exclusive first play on Rob Da Bank’s Radio 1 show on Saturday 21 June, “celebrating all things sunrise and sunset”, and is also featured on the 20th anniversary edition of Café Mambo’s influential, critically acclaimed compilations.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;">‘Coming Home’ is an irresistible collision of dusty soul, the horns from Glenn Campbell’s ever-classic Wichita Lineman, and powerful vocals. It’s one big, life-affirming record that’s odds-on favourite to soundtrack the summer, and which sounds like the closing minutes of the best day ever, or the opening moments of the best night on earth. The music has cemented a musical partnership full of Motown soul and Rudimental spark that channels the best of their individual musical and life experiences.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;">Berri Farley grew up in south-east London, listening to her parents’ Northern Soul records. A few eventful years later she took herself out of the rat-race to develop her music, living with her folks on a sleepy Balearic island. She began singing in local jazz and blues, performing classic songs by greats like Nina Simone and Ella Fitzgerald that gave her the confidence to flex her lush, multi-toned voice and to experiment, writing lyrics on the spot.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;">The one-time b-boy and man behind The Shapeshifters has spent the decade since their hit ‘Lola’s Theme’ making music that straddled the cult and the popular; recently producing for the likes of Wiley, DJing across the world playing influential Ibiza spots like Pacha and Café Mambo. This summer is the eighth consecutive year The Shapeshifters have returned to their residency at Pacha Ibiza.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;">Pacific State now have an album’s worth of material, spanning a range of tempos and styles but it’s all joined together by a love of classic songs, of soul and funk, and of music that moves you – in both senses of the word. As Marlin himself puts it, ‘the bastard child of Adele and Massive Attack’.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;">Welcome to Pacific State, here to take you through the summer and beyond.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><iframe frameborder="no" height="450" scrolling="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/158795108&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true" width="100%"></iframe></span></div> </div>
