January 2025 marks the vinyl release of Changes 2, the pioneering album by
legendary vocalist, keys player and composer Mike Lindup
A remarkably engaging body of work with wide ranging elements, Changes 2 plots a
course through upfront soul, deep funk, jazz riffs and disco vibes, tied together with
the melodic magic and engaging vocals for which Mike Lindup is widely known.
As an internationally renowned musician with decades of achievements and
accolades, Mike Lindup's outstanding career has taken him on a unique journey. With
the band Level 42, he consolidated a place in music history with some of the greatest
hits of the era, gaining a dedicated fanbase that see the band still touring to this day.
As a soloist, the frst Changes album and a notable release on Naim records, as well
as his work with UK/Brazilian outft Da Lata, have all allowed further development of a
burgeoning creativity, now ultimately culminating in Changes 2 - an enthralling
representation of where Mike Lindup is today.
Changes 2 features various excellent guest artists that demonstrate the diverse
nature of the album, including the stellar vocals of Omar and Tony Momrelle, bass
magic from Yolanda Charles and even an appearance from the comedian and
impressionist Jon Culshaw! The album has also inspired two funk- fuelled dance
remixes from Dave Lee and the inimitable Louis Vega. All of these talented individuals
enhance the project greatly, making valuable contributions to Mike Lindup's
distinguished work.
Speaking about the album, Mike Lindup says: "Changes - so many since I began
recording this album, and as the saying goes, the one thing you can be sure of in this
life. During the four years of making this album I've been refecting on the world as I
see it, the actors and actions on this grand stage of life, love, death, prejudice, politics,
separation, longing, hopes and dreams. Musically, many of the seeds of these songs
took hold a while ago and wouldn't let go, but to be fulflled they needed input and
inspiration from my producers Toni and Mike, and the talents of the singers and
musicians that are featured within. My wish is that some of these themes will
resonate with you."
With Gilles Peterson, undoubtedly one of the UK's most infuential DJ's and
tastemakers describing Mike Lindup as "one of his all-time favourite vocalists" and
high praise from many other leading music broadcasters and writers, Changes 2
destined to be enjoyed by a multitude of discerning music and vinyl lovers the world
over.
