Mercury Prize and BRIT Award winners Ezra Collective return with ‘Jubilee Feeling’, an euphoric new single that offers another glimpse into their forthcoming fourth studio album, ‘Here Because of Hope’, arriving 11th September 2026.
The third release from the project, ‘Jubilee Feeling’ carries a particular significance within the wider story of the album. It is the first instrumental to be unveiled from the record and represents the journey reaching London - the final destination in a musical story tracing the movement of Black music from West Africa, through the Caribbean and into Britain.
Drawing on the traditions of UK jazz while tapping into the euphoric energy of 2010s Funky House, the record captures the feeling of a city moving together. Infectious from the outset, its rhythmic foundation provides the perfect platform for Joe Armon-Jones to deliver a breathtaking piano performance that gives the track its emotional lift.
Rather than simply looking backwards, Ezra Collective use these influences as building blocks. The result is a record that feels nostalgic without being confined by nostalgia - a celebration of the sounds that shaped them, reimagined through the band's unmistakable musical language.
As they prepare for the upcoming album, all four of their forthcoming headline shows at London's O2 Academy Brixton have now sold out, adding another milestone to a run that has already included sold-out performances at Wembley Arena and the Royal Albert Hall.
The Brixton dates will form the climax of their biggest global headline tour to date, taking the band across Australia, Asia, North America, Europe and the UK.
With ‘Jubilee Feeling’, the journey at the heart of ‘Here Because of Hope’ arrives in London.
