Hailing from the vibrant London jazz scene, Ezra Collective delivers their second studio album Where I'm Meant To Be as a vibrant celebration of life and musical maturity. Released on March 8, 2024, via Partisan Records, this 1-hour and 33-minute journey blends jazz rap, indie soul, and nu jazz into a refined, hybrid sound that feels both fresh and deeply rooted in their decade-long improvisational experience.
The album thrives on the collective’s signature call-and-response interplay, where each instrument and vocal weaves together with cool confidence and bright energy. Standout tracks like Life Goes On (featuring Sampa the Great) and No Confusion (with Kojey Radical) pulse with life, while collaborations with Emeli Sandé on Siesta and Nao on Love In Outer Space add celestial warmth and depth. The album’s title track, Where I'm Meant To Be, anchors the collection as an affirming anthem, reflecting the band’s journey and refined artistic identity.
With a tracklist that includes remixes and deeper cuts like Ego Killah and Smile, Where I'm Meant To Be isn’t just an album—it’s a testament to Ezra Collective’s evolution, their knack for songwriting, and their ability to turn studio sessions into live-wired performances. Whether you’re diving into the original tracks or exploring the remixes, this album captures the essence of a band at the top of their game, blending celebration, introspection, and infectious rhythm into one unforgettable experience.
