There's always an air of optimistic anticipation when the likes of The Roots are due to release an album. The hip-hop supergroup are due to release their 9th studio album How I Got Over to reinstate their position as worthy urban royals, as well as banish claims that the group have sold out following their stint as Jimmy Fallon's house band.
On this album The Roots collaborate with an eclectic range of artists, including Joanna Newsom, John Legend and even Monsters of Folk. It's interesting to see how they adapt and manipulate their sound, shifting away from their usual funk and soul - however I think it works.
Here's a couple of tunes to tickle the ear drums.
