MJ Cole and A.K. Paul have joined forces for their new single, ‘Talk To Us’. This follows on from Cole’s recent tracks with PinkPantheress and John Glacier.
One of the founding fathers of UK garage, Cole released the seminal track ‘Sincere’ in the 1990’s, becoming the first garage song to reach the UK top 40. Talk To Us is demonstrative of the longevity of one of the most important artists of his generation.
Speaking on the track, MJ Cole states:
“First time working with A. K. Paul, first session together, and this is what came out of it. DrumBrute drums, A. K.’s guitars on top, pianos and colourful synths, with a story from that morning being told. Same headspace as ‘Move Time’, garage-adjacent, but trying not to be defined by it.”
A.K. Paul adds:
“Such an honour to make a tune with a UKG legend, and a part of my youth growing up in NW London. I’ve never said yes so quick to a collab.”
