Labi Siffre - For The Children

Review by Srivinay Salian

For The Children is an album that showcases the musical genius of Labi Siffre. The album, which was released in 1973, features a collection of songs that are both thought-provoking and soulful.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Cannock Chase". The song was inspired by a visit Siffre made to a military training ground in Staffordshire, England. The song is a lament for the young men who were sent to fight in wars they did not fully understand. The lyrics are powerful and moving, and Siffre's voice is filled with emotion.

Another standout track on the album is "I Got The...", which features a catchy guitar riff and an infectious beat. The song is a celebration of life and the simple pleasures that make it worth living. Siffre's vocals are full of energy and enthusiasm, and the song is sure to get even the most reluctant listener up and dancing.

About Labi Siffre

Album herunterladen Labi Siffre - For The Children

British vocalist, musician, and artist. Born: 25 June 1945 in Hammersmith, London, England, UK. Brought up in London, Siffre is the son of an English mother and Nigerian father. After jobs such as mini-cab driver and delivery man he started to concentrate on music full-time leaving for Cannes, France to play guitar with a variety of soul musicians and bands. He returned to the UK in the late 1960s and enjoyed solo hits in 1971 with "It Must Be Love" (later covered by ) and "Crying, Laughing, Loving, Lying". Although "Watch Me" (1972) was his last hit of the 1970s, he made a spectacular comeback with "(Something Inside) So Strong" (1987). In recent years Siffre's work has been reassessed by a new generation after the break from his song "I Got The" from album "" (1975) (and featuring as session musicians!) was sampled by in his breakthrough hit "" (1999). Siffre nowadays spends much of his time writing poetry which deals with gay rights and other world issues.
