But he\u2019s not alone he brings along\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/lauramvula\/?hl=en\">Laura Mvula\u00a0<\/a>for the ride too. She reduces me to a blubbery mess with \u201cFather Father\u201d so her contribution here already told me before I hit play that this was going to be special. This starts off with, piano, kick and finger snaps over which Oli sings and challenges people in a rallying cry to pray for people affected by events in the 21st century- this is highlighted by the prayer for the soldier, people who are crossing in boats, the sick and the dying. It unites the polar opposites showing that they are in the same situation hence the title \u201cWe Are The People\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2:27 onward is the part that got me, the layered harmonies the chord progression takes us to church, whether this is intentional I don\u2019t know but boy does it move you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Laura\u2019s adlibs &#8211; Loooooooooord I love her for this. Shout out to all the musicians on this because wow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve had this in my possession for a few days now and I\u2019ll let you into a little secret &#8211; don\u2019t tell anyone this &#8211; it\u2019s fast becoming one of my favourite releases this year with every listen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oli Rockberger is back with a track that\u2019s soul stirring but then that\u2019s on brand for him.
