Feel It In Your Genes - Ed Barker

New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Following the massive stateside success of his debut album 'Simple Truth', Ed Barker relocated to Hollywood to pursue his dream of being a jazz musician. But even in California you can get homesick……

Missing his family and friends, it was from the other side of the world that Ed finally decided to realise another long term ambition and make a record with his sisters. It became an obsession. What could be simpler? Annabelle, a Leicestershire based midwife, Eloise a London based estate agent and Ed, a musician living in Los Angeles.

"It was the worst possible time in my life to try to coordinate a project in Britain when I lived on the other side of the world, but it suddenly seemed like something I needed to do!" - Ed Barker

And so it was, with the germ of an idea and following an endless barrage of 'WhatsApp' messages over the course of a couple of hours, Ed persuaded his sisters to come onboard and within a month, they had written and recorded the song, engaged the help of choreographers and dancers, found a venue and filmed the brilliant video that accompanies this upbeat and fun filled funky dance track. Inspired by TV's 'Downton Abbey', the shoot included mansions, costumes, maids, castles and butlers. Unbelievably, Ed's sisters even got him to dance!

The recording features some of the best musicians around including Ian Thomas (Drums), Laurence Cottle and Goatious Foot (Bass), and Mark Jaimes and Richard Niles (Guitar), Ed enlisted the help of legendary producer Keith Bessey to help him put everything together. Combined with the sublime saxophone playing of Ed himself this is a tune to lift your spirits and keep you smiling.
