Zara McFarlane - Arise Reissue

Zara McFarlane
Arise
Reissued on vinyl on October 9th via Brownswood Recordings

Originally released in 2017, Zara McFarlane’s Arise represents a classic moment in our catalogue.
To celebrate the album’s reissue on limited edition gold vinyl, we’re sharing the digital version with our DJ community.

Just before the global spotlight landed on London’s new jazz generation, McFarlane was already forging her own path, connecting jazz, soul, reggae and Afro-Caribbean traditions with a confidence and clarity that remains striking nearly a decade later.

Arise captures an artist operating with singular vision, creating a body of work that sounds every bit as fresh and forward-thinking today as it did on its original release. Its distinctive blend of influences and assured musical identity make it a timeless addition to your vinyl collection.

To mark the reissue, the album is now available on limited edition gold vinyl, with just 500 copies pressed worldwide.

As a thank you for supporting the release, we’re also offering our DJs 10% off the new vinyl edition via Bandcamp!

Get 10% off the vinyl edition via Bandcamp with CODE: zarise

Thanks for your continued support, and we hope you enjoy revisiting Arise!
