Writers Mandeep. Leanne Sedin, Kevin Fox and producer Zar formed the In Your Words Music collective in April 2020 to document the British publics experience of isolation during lockdown in the UK, crafting an album spanning rap, jazz, electronica and verbatim theatre. “Isolation, in Your Words” was recorded remotely by 17 musicians and features some of the brightest talent in London’s jazz and live improv circuit, putting into music the stories and unique experiences of 45 individuals. It triumphantly premiered on BBC Radio 3 in October 2020, capturing a snapshot of this unique moment in history. Their first of 3 singles “Nothing To Do” pushed the boundaries of funk whilst exploring the dark and light sides of empty schedules during a global pandemic. Hip-hop lyricism over mood-shifting funky house and a killer a cappella vocal arrangement are interspersed among a collage of interviews with the British public in lockdown. The Kaytranada-esque instrumental will have you both bopping and contemplating. The full album is out now. “Saturated with creativity and diversity… I love how collaborative and amazingly heartwarming it is. You’ve literally created a living artefact of lockdown 2020.” - fan feedback from the BBC Radio 3 premiere. This project was kindly commissioned by Arts Council England, BBC Arts and The Space.
