Listen to Moby & Benjamin Zephaniah's new collaboration
Moby has unveiled a new track titled “Where Is Your Pride?”, featuring the late dub poet and animal rights activist Benjamin Zephaniah. The track will be part of Moby’s upcoming 22nd studio album, Always Centered at Night, set for release on June 14th.
“Where Is Your Pride?” showcases Zephaniah’s distinctive spoken word poetry over a broken beat, delivering a powerful message in his characteristic flowing style. Zephaniah, who passed away in December 2023 at the age of 65, was known for his activism and profound impact on both the literary and vegan communities.
Speaking about the track, Moby shared: “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.”
The album Always Centered at Night features 13 tracks and includes collaborations with artists such as serpentwithfeet, Lady Blackbird, and a diverse array of global talents including Sudan’s Gaidaa, Burundian artist J.P. Bimeni, and Jamaica’s Aynzli Jones. The record promises a rich blend of genres, spanning soul, jazz, breakbeat, trip-hop, broken beat, Latin house, and even drum ‘n’ bass influences.
Moby’s announcement comes ahead of his first tour in more than a decade, with stops scheduled in London, Manchester, Antwerp, Berlin, Paris, and other cities.
