- ALI CAMPBELL
- The Legendary Voice of UB40 -
Flying High - Album Release June 29th 2009
Out From Under - Single Release June 29th 2009
Following the worldwide success of 2007s Running Free, June sees the release of Ali Campbells much anticipated third solo album Flying High, his first to be recorded since splitting from UB40. Ali has one of the UKs most distinctive and recognisable voices and as lead singer with the world-renowned group UB40, he has sold over 70 million records worldwide, toured across the globe, notched up four number No. 1 world-wide singles, over forty Top 40 UK singles, released 24 studio albums and received an Ivor Novello Award for International Achievement.
Recorded in Londons legendary Sarm Studios Flying High is an exquisitely arranged and produced infectious reggae-pop record, made up of a mixture of original material and interesting covers, thoroughly exploring all genres of reggae music, with a release date that makes it a potential soundtrack to the summer.
An Ali Campbell record wouldnt be an Ali Campbell record without exciting collaborations, superbly written original material and some well chosen, transformed covers and Flying High wont disappoint. Ali restructures and shapes old pop classics with his inventive, artistic vision that only he could convincingly execute and the record includes appearances from an exciting cast of international artists including Craig David, Sway, Jamaicas Lady Saw and Shaggy, Germanys Gentleman and South Africas Danny K & The Soweto Gospel Choir.
Speaking about recording the song Everways with Craig David, Ali recalled: It was a joy working with Craig, he is totally professional and has done a great job on the track. He is one of the UK's best R n B talents and a lovely guy. Similarly Craig enjoyed the experience saying It was great working with Ali, the man is a legend and a consummate professional. Everways captures everything that weve all come to love about his writing. I look forward to working with him again in the future.
A song written by Ali and Gentleman for the album is Its A Crime on which British rapper Sway collaborates: Sway is one of Britain's finest. His rap on the track is so good, I was blown away with his lyric and phrasing he is a big talent praised Ali. Coming from a family of UB40 fans Sway was thrilled to be working with Ali: "It was a great honour working with Ali, I'm a big fan of UB40 and so are my parents, my mum couldn't believe it. The fact that someone of that stature would even consider or acknowledge talent from a younger generation to be worthy of appearing on his album is amazing."
Soaring melodies and reggae rhythms glide and bounce along throughout the album with themes that include conspiracy theories, politics and love. The moving rendition of Britney Spears Out From Under highlights Campbells world class vocal ability - the first single to be taken from the new album, this beautiful ballad evokes strong emotions and lyrically may help to shed some light on his departure from UB40. Shes A Lady, a cover of Tom Jones Seventies smash, sees a pair-up with dancehall superstar Shaggy, whose raspy Jamaican rhymes entwine with Campbells huge soulful vocals so fluently and with such kick that youre left wondering why the two havent collaborated before.
True reggae lovers will be excited to learn that there is a cover of John Holts 1970 lost dub classic My Heart Is Gone. The haunting original track Nothing Ever Changes (Pierrot) sees the pairing of German reggae star Gentleman with Ali and leaves its mark on the listener with its thought provoking lyric, whilst Visions, another Campbell penned track, sees Danny K and the Soweto Gospel choir join Ali on what is an anthemic and uplifting look at South Africas future.
From his days in UB40 to his time pursuing his successful solo career, Ali has always stayed true to his love of reggae and its ongoing capacity for innovation, experimentation and pure enjoyment. Flying High is testament to his continuing desire to create and deliver innovative reggae and dub to the world in the shape of an album that, young or old, reggae enthusiast, or not, you definitely wont want to miss.

The best cover of a Elvis song that I've ever heard love that Jamaican sound that this band has kinda brings you back to the Jimmy Cliff and the late great Bob Marley sound imho.

Some things were meant to be
Take my hand
Take my whole life too
'Cause I can't help
Fallin' in love with you

Take my whole life too
'Cause I can't help
Fallin' in love with you
And I can't help
Fallin' in love with you
And I can't help
Fallin' in love with you

Here in November 2023. Still One Of My All Time Favs From UB40 🎧🎵
Had this version played at my 50th anniversary party in 2015! Also had Elvis….loved this!
❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 greetings from Ethiopia! Remembering time of teenage ! Respect
I was a freshman in high school when this song came out. Memories. Good ole days
A truly criminally underrated band! This and Red Red Wine being the big hits but when you hear that voice it is truly unique and timeliness and maybe most importantly it never gets old! Unfortunately for me this song brings tears to my eyes because my sister loved this song and it played at her funeral along with Beautiful girls from INXS and everytime I hear either one of the songs I can't help but to cry. I can never overlook the passion and love in this song and how it clearly translates into such a beautiful harmony.
lol!! This song was never underrated, this was the shit when it came out, and still one of the best hits till now and on!!
They are definitely rated
Bless you
UB40 sweetest Melody music stay alive year to year always refreshing
Me and I’m 75 love it!!
I remember stoping everything and singing to my wife back then. What a wonderful memories 😘
I’m still listening to this greatness in 2023
this song is legendary
Thanks Sliver for introducing me to this song I miss my childhood in the 90s.
I was 14 when this came out. 44 now and still love it.
I Always Love Ub40 Will Play It Till My Death Day Of My Departure Specially Kingston Town🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
My favourite ub 40 song,who is here listening to this song
Love this song
Those are songs that will never die
Ali the white guy is the only person I ever noticed in this group I hardly ever noticed anyone else am 38 yrs old still crushing on him🙃
Am still mad about how they broke up and the brother's animosity.till today they have not spoken.what a shame
A timeless classic. Love this raggae rendition... The hook is so fantastic and it defines one of many fun elements of mid ninetees
This is a masterpiece
Miss the good old 90s ❤
😢❤this is to my dear dad in heaven ws 1 of his favourites😢😢
Fell in love with this song when I was about 8 (94). We were going somewhere and this song was on the radio
I got this cd in 1993-- this song and bring me your cup are the best.....
There’s also Kingston Town and Red, red wine.
I can’t help to forget
Brings so much in my heart
Remembering my childhood and my father who sadly passed away when I was 15
Enamorada de mi marido! 8 años de aventuras, dolores y risas, está canción es para él.
October 1993 from Seattle to Copenhagen I heard this going to Germany via Copenhagen on a SAS Scandinavian BOEING 767-383 this song brings back Nostalgia of that trip overseas granted I was born in the early 80s but 1993 also is long gone
Thumb's up for listening to ub40 in November 2020
