What their label says...

The first full single from The Cinematic Orchestra’s forthcoming album ‘Ma Fleur’ is the scintillating ‘Breathe’, a devastatingly beautiful piece of music; a contemporary requiem, featuring Fontella Bass. Drawing on her heritage as a gospel singer as much as her background in soul and jazz, Bass strips everything back to the uplifting beauty of her unadorned voice. Swinscoe, meanwhile, starts with a simple acoustic guitar riff from the group’s Stuart MacCallum and gradually builds the tune into a series of emotional and dynamic peaks, before, in the words of the song, allowing Fontella’s voice to be carried “out to the sea”. Also featured on the single is exclusive track ‘Colours’.
