In a poignant homage to the late Benjamin Zephaniah, Moby has released the stirring video for Where Is Your Pride? The track, a collaboration with Zephaniah, features his signature spoken word delivered over a dynamic break-beat. This release highlights Moby's ability to blend potent messages with compelling electronic music, showcasing his deep respect for Zephaniah's legacy as a poet and activist. The song is part of Moby's upcoming album, Always Centered at Night, set for release on June 14, which includes collaborations with a diverse array of artists. Moby shares:
As a vegan activist, and as a wise and compassionate man, Benjamin inspired me for many years. I hope that 'Where Is Your Pride' honors his legacy and also draws people's attention to his life, work, and principles.
Benjamin once said:
Just as we have tried to end sexism and racism, we must try to end speciesism. A vegan lifestyle is the ultimate protest against animal exploitation.
Always Centered at Night is a star-studded album featuring collaborations with 13 different artists across 13 tracks, including serpentwithfeet, Gaidaa, José James, and Lady Blackbird. These collaborations bring a rich variety of styles and influences to the album, from trip-hop to Latin house. Moby will support the album with his first tour in over a decade, celebrating 25 years of Play. The tour kicks off in September with dates across Europe and the UK.
