Singer, songwriter, humanitarian, activist, poet, philosopher, artist... ever since music lovers first became aware of Labi Siffre in the early 1970s subsequent generations have continued to discover and be beguiled by his timeless artistry. To this day, his music has endured - seemingly as relevant and contemporary as when first released. It was these qualities that led Madness to cover his 1972 UK hit 'It Must Be Love' in the early 1980s, and Eminem and Dr. Dre to sample a substantial chunk of 'I Got The...' for the former's debut hit 'My Name Is...' in 1999. His 1988 classic 'Something Inside) So Strong' became an anthem twice over when it both soundtracked the struggles of Apartheid South Africa and became a beacon of strength and solace for gay men during the AIDS crisis. More recently, the streaming / TikTok / Insta generation have responded in their hundreds of thousands to 'Crying Laughing Loving Lying', as featured in the 2023 cult film 'The Holdovers' and to 'Watch Me' as included in the ever-iconic 'Dr Who'. Also, this decade, they might have been drawn into Labi's world via another film, 'Companion, or the TV shows 'Better Call Saul', 'Sweetpea', and 'The Man Who Fell To Earth'. To bring things bang up to date, they may have been among the legions who liked, shared, and saved 'Bless The Telephone' after it's unforgettable soundtracking the season 4 finale of bitter-sweet comedy phenomenon 'Hacks'. 'The Best Of' is the definitive Labi Siffre collection for the ages. Released on 2LP and 2CD formats, it was personally sanctioned by Labi himself who also provided art direction for the package.
