Our Take

THE STAPLE SINGERS - Africa 80

There are few things in life that are as satisfying as stumbling upon a hidden gem of an album that has the power to transport you to a different time and place. THE STAPLE SINGERS' "Africa 80" is one such gem. This album, released in 1980, is a masterclass in soulful, uplifting gospel music that will leave you tapping your feet and clapping your hands in no time.

From the moment Mavis Staples' powerful vocals kick in on the opening track, you know you're in for a treat. The harmonies on this album are tighter than your April budget and the instrumentation is as smooth as a freshly made cup of English breakfast tea. Each song on "Africa 80" is like a little slice of musical heaven, with infectious melodies that will have you singing along in no time.

But don't let the gospel label fool you - this album has a little something for everyone. From the funky grooves of "Respect Yourself" to the soulful balladry of "I'll Take You There", THE STAPLE SINGERS prove that they can do it all. So go ahead, put on your best dancing shoes, grab your favourite cuppa, and let "Africa 80" take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget. Trust us, your ears will thank you.
