United Freedom Collective - Vast Oceans, Empty Skies (2023) [Hi-Res]

The ever-expanding UK music collective – United Freedom Collective – return with another outstanding 5-track EP, welcoming new collaborators Joshua Idehen and Labdi into the fold and exploring the full breadth of UFC’s musical identity.

The title of the EP - ‘Vast Oceans, Empty Skies’, comes from an old Chinese idiom: ‘退一步, 海闊天空’ meaning ‘if we take a step back, we are met with vast oceans and boundless empty skies. Where infiniteness awaits, if we could just let go’. “This was a theme we kept coming back to when we were making these tracks in the studio,” explains Robbie. “We made a conscious effort not to get bogged down by small obstacles and try to zoom out on the bigger picture, and also to find inspiration in the nature and landscapes around us.”
