Premiere: Dan Croll x Ladysmith Black Mambazo 'Hello My Baby' For Record Store Day


Back in December, British singer/songwriter Dan Croll travelled to Durban to take part in some recording sessions with Ladysmith Black Mambazo. "Hello My Baby," the fruits of those sessions, blends the famed South African outfit's choir vocals with Croll's pop sensibilities. The song's intro is signature Ladysmith Black Mambazo, which slowly transitions into Croll's sunshine guitar melodies in this booming ode to a girl. "Hello My Baby" b/w “Ever At Your Side” will see a limited 10" vinyl release for Record Store Day on April 19 at select independent record stores. Stream Dan Croll and Ladysmith Black Mambazo's collaboration below.
