Ali has one of the UK's most distinctive and recognisable voices and, as lead singer with the world-renowned group UB40, he has sold more than 60 million records worldwide, toured across the globe, notched up four number one worldwide singles, more than 40 Top 40 UK singles, released 24 studio albums and received an Ivor Novello Award for International Achievement.

Recorded in London's legendary Sarm Studios, Flying High is an exquisitely arranged and produced infectious reggae-pop record, made up of a mixture of original material and interesting covers, thoroughly exploring all genres of reggae music, with a release date that makes it a potential soundtrack to the summer.

An Ali Campbell record wouldn't be an Ali Campbell record without exciting collaborations, superbly written original material and some well chosen, transformed covers, and Flying High won't disappoint. Ali restructures and shapes old pop classics with his inventive, artistic vision that only he could convincingly execute, and the record includes appearances from an exciting cast of international artists, including Jamaica's Lady Saw and Shaggy, Germany's Gentleman and South Africa's Danny K & The Soweto Gospel Choir.

Soaring melodies and reggae rhythms glide and bounce along throughout the album, with themes that include conspiracy theories, politics and love.

From his days in UB40 to his time pursuing his successful solo career, Ali has always stayed true to his love of reggae and its ongoing capacity for innovation, experimentation and pure enjoyment. Flying High is testament to his continuing desire to create and deliver innovative reggae and dub to the world in the shape of an album that, young or old, reggae enthusiast, or not, you definitely won't want to miss.
