Past collaborations with everyone from Gorillaz to the Maccabees, Rodney Smith\u2019s influence can be heard right across the musical landscape. Now, with his sixth studio album, he has made his most concise and focussed record to date, his most emotionally affecting and powerful release since his breakthrough, &#8220;Run Come Save Me&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Drawing upon production assistance from young British producer, Fred, together with musical heavyweights Four Tet, Adrian Sherwood and Switch\u2019s new production team, With You, the title of the record is, in the man\u2019s own words, an \u201cegocentric jest of daring to do things in the tradition of Jesus: I\u2019m ready to bleed for the artform.\u201d It is, of course, also a reference to the way in which genres, in the sonic world of Roots Manuva, have a tendency to bleed into one another, so that hip hop, reggae, techno, funk, neo-classical, all blend together to create \u201cliquid soul, the blood, the bleeds that paint infinite sacred wonders in our dreams and unfold in our day-to-day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One of the true pioneers and originals of British music, any album from <strong>Roots Manuva<\/strong> is an event.
