Everything Is Recorded – Close But Not Quite (feat. Sampha)

Everything Is Recorded is the brand new project from Richard Russell, aka the founder of XL Recordings who signed the likes of Adele, M.I.A. and Dizzee Rascal. Today, he’s premiering the first single “Close But Not Quite,” a collaboration with Sampha that samples Curtis Mayfield’s “The Makings of You.”

“I wanted to do something that transcended the individual a bit, so the idea of it is that it’s a collective, there’s a bunch of people, there’s a feeling in it,” Russell says about the project on BBC Radio 1.

The like of Syd, Kamasi Washington, Giggs will appear on future tracks.
