Check out the video, directed by Joseph Dunn and Jake Whitehouse.
“To be able to record this live session in the legendary Abbey Road studios was a beautiful moment”, Yussef tells FACT, “Growing up in the big smoke, I’m used to recording in basements and bedroom studios, so to get the opportunity to elevate our sounds in this space was something I couldn’t turn down!”
‘Love Is The Message’ is the first of two of two releases from Dayes this month, both of which are collaborations with Alfa Mist. Yussef Dayes will will be releasing music and touring through out 2018 and early 2019.
