Ezra Collective have announced their second album Where I’m Meant To Be, and have teamed up with Sampa The Great on new single "Life Goes On".

"Life Goes On" featuring Sampa The Great arrives with a Nathan Miller-directed video, and will appear on the group's Where I'm Meant To Be album with their June single "Victory Dance".

Ezra Collective say, "London meets Lusaka. Moments of joy, moments of struggle, but united in a spirit that we must carry on. Life must go on. We write our music with a consistent will to push the boundaries of what we can mix jazz with. This incorporates the energies of southern African vibes, mixed with our own style of London jazz. And there's no better person to voice this beauty than the queen, Sampa The Great."

Where I'm Meant To Be will follow Ezra Collective's 2019 debut album You Can't Steal My Joy, and will feature new collaborations with Kojey Radical, Emeli Sandé and Nao.
