The Freedom Affair [2022] - Give A Little Love / Searching [One World #OSP 5009]

Announced a couple of week ago, but due for release on Friday (20 May 2022), is the second vinyl 7" by The Freedom Affair released by Paul Mooney's One World Records. 

Both singles have been taken from the nine piece Kansas City band's first, and only, album so far "Freedom Is Love" released on group co-founder's (Chris Hazelton) Sunflower Records in 2020. The group released their first recording in 2019, a single called "Rise Up" on Colemine Records.

The first Freedom Affair single on One World was "Outta My Mind" released last July (2021) and the latest is "Give Me A Little Love" flipped with, presumably, a new song "Searching" unless it's an instrumental of the A side, as I haven't heard it.

As an added bonus I found a video on their YouTube channel (posted in Feb 2020) where they perform five songs, the two singles plus their debut single "Rise Up" and two further album tracks "Make Me Surrender" and "I Know Better".

The group line-up is Seyko Groves (vocals), Misha Roberts (vocals), Paula Saunders (vocals), Chris Hazelton (bass), Dave Brick (drums), Coles Bates (lead guitar), Branden Moser (rhythm guitar), Pete Carroll (trumpet) and Brett Jackson (sax).

The Freedom Affair [2021] - Outta My Mind [One World #OSP 5007]

Earlier today I posted another track from Paul Mooney, the L.J. Johnson / Barbara Pennington release on Soul Purpose. The latest offering on his One World label, which has given us releases from Michelle David and Sean Oliver already this year, is a reissue on 45 of The Freedom Affair's "Outta My Mind".

The Freedom Affair is a nine piece group from Kansas City, MO, who released an album "Freedom Is Love" on Sunflower Soul (operated by the group's founder Chris Hazelton) last year, so I guess that this will be the first time on 45 and includes vocal and instrumental versions.

The song features Seyko Groves on lead vocals and is co-written and produced by Chris Hazelton.

The group were were founded in 2017 and debuted in 2019 with a sistah funk single on Colemine "Rise Up" which was featured in the award winning Netflix TV series "Self Made" and was also used by Apple to advertise the Apple Watch Seres 6.

The scheduled release date was 16 Jul 2021 but It's already in the shops now.
