Track two of the When We Are EP, later reworked at 12:08 for the 2020 album.
Nubya Garcia, from When We Are (2018)

The EP version runs 8:51; the 2020 album version runs 12:08 with Sheila Maurice-Grey, Cassie Kinoshi and Richie Seivwright, and is a reworked later version, though the sources we read do not state the relationship. Our upload is titled with the EP, so it is most likely the 2018 track, but it could be the album one. We found no statement from Garcia on the piece. Setlist.fm shows it as her most-played song, 24 plays across 142 setlists. She played it second at the Barbican livestream on October 29, 2020, described by London Jazz News as deeply grooving and dub-inflected, and it is on her NPR Tiny Desk (Home) concert of September 16, 2020 with "Pace" and "Boundless Beings". We found no chart entry, video or covers.
