An ambitious collection of love-songs, tributes, warnings and protests that she regards as the best album of her life.
Devoted to the people of Africa, and the music of that continent, that has inspired so many artists for so long, Bloody Rain brings together a stunningly diverse group of performers.
Among a raft of guests are the Zimbabwe-born singer Eska, Senegal’s Seckou Keita on kora, UK-Caribbean saxophonist Courtney Pine, the Soweto Gospel Choir, American jazz trumpeter Avishai Cohen, former James Brown arranger Pee Wee Ellis - and of course the soulmates from Morris’s touring band, including Sting sideman Dominic Miller, and guitarist Tony Remy, co-writer of many of the new songs.
