Jonathan Jeremiah has confirmed details of his new album, Horsepower For The Streets, and shares the record’s title track as an opening taster. This is the fifth album from the London-based Brit as well as his second on [PIAS] Recordings. The album is due to be released on CD/LP/Ltd. LP (D2C only)/Digital on September 09, 2022.   

The new song is arguably the essence of Jonathan’s musical output. His vibrant soulful voice and powerful lyrics meet a groovy rhythm section and insanely well-arranged strings that are reminiscent of iconic productions by Lalo Schifrin, Michael Kiwanuka and Terry Callier.

The album opener might conjure up images of boy racers and revved up emotions. In actuality, it’s a quote from an old acquaintance in Berlin, a rallying cry, a positive vibe. The album arrives after a time that, let’s be honest, has been quite tough.  This is an album of its
time, of hardships endured, rhodium thieves sighted across the road, sirens wailing on their way to the hospital – while the songwriter sings: “So come bring it in sisters if you need it / I’ve cut you new rhythm for your spirits / ‘Cause it’s a wild world / That’s why I’m sending it / All my love, harmony and horsepower for the streets”.
