Ghostpoet signs Play It Again Sam deal
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 24 May 2012
So, good old Ghostpoet – real name Obaro Ejimiwe – has signed to [PIAS] label Play It Again Sam, and will begin recording his second album in the summer with a mind to release it next year.
The rapper’s Mercury-nominated debut LP ‘Peanut Butter Blues & Melancholy Jam’ came out, of course, by way of Gilles Peterson’s Brownswood Recordings, but that’s all in the past now.
Let’s instead look forward to a gushy quote from [PIAS] MD Peter Thompson, who says: “Obaro is a unique artist at the top of his game. He first came to our attention with his inspiring debut, and after listening to this nonstop for months and then seeing how well it translates to the live arena, we desperately wanted to work with him more closely and are all eager to hear the music, and work on the campaign that will make up his first album for Play It Again Sam”.
Keeping his comments brief, Ghotpoet adds: “It’s lovely to sign to Play It Again Sam, I’m hoping together we can push my career in a forward direction and bring happiness to ears around the world”.
