Pint-sized jazz pianist Jamie Cullum has joined forces with London-based rapper Roots Manuva on new track ‘Love for $ale’.

Cullum has always been known for trialing new genres with his soulful tones; remember his cover of Rihanna’s ‘Please Don’t Stop The Music’?

This time he’s linked up for a drum-heavy-yet-still-smooth duet with Roots Manuva. Having been a big fan of both for a while now, it’s great to hear these two collaborate. It’s unusual but completely on-point, with both artists taking the opportunity to outshine each-other in the talent-stakes.

The video (below) is a fantastic narrative that really should be watched without distraction, telling a strong story in the process.

Cullum and Manuva have also released the track as a free download; available here.
