15th February 2023
Steve Mason has today shared his anthemic new single, "Brixton Fish Fry" the latest track to be taken from his forthcoming fifth solo album, Brothers & Sisters, which is released on Double Six on Friday 3rd March 2023.
"Brixton Fish Fry", featuring feted Pakistani singer Javed Bahir, who also appeared on "No More", the 6 Music listed debut from the album, follows Steve’s most recent track, "The People Say".
Talking about "Brixton Fish Fry", the track that most captures the forward-looking, inclusive spirit of the album, Steve Mason said:
"Myself and Javed chatted for some time over Zoom about the track, he was in Lahore, and I explained my love of Indian and Pakistani music, my connection to Kashmir (my wife) and Pakistan, the concept of the record and how i wanted it to be a statement against the direction Britain has gone in and how I wanted it to represent all the innumerable and indispensable things we take for granted that immigration and movement of people and culture has brought here. Like everybody involved in the making of this record he understood immediately and was very happy to be part of this statement. Both his contributions took my breath away and made my wife cry. The connection of her family and culture being brought together with me and my music was very powerful for us as a family and encapsulated in a moment the entire purpose and point of this album."

Album | 3rd March 2023
Steve Mason’s most open, honest and vibrant solo record to date, it marries the personal and the political but does so in an emotive and uplifting manner. Written against a backdrop of fear and uncertainty, and at a time when those in charge lurched from one disaster to the next mismanagement with increasing regularity, Brothers & Sisters is in fact an incredibly joyous, even spiritual, listen.
