WHAT IT IS: "God Gave Me Feet for Dancing" is a standout track from Dance, No One's Watching, the eagerly awaited follow-up to Ezra Collective’s Mercury Prize-winning album, Where I’m Meant to Be. Created during a momentous 2023, which included a global tour and the historic Mercury Prize win, the album captures the essence of the diverse dance floors the band encountered. Recorded at Abbey Road Studios, the sessions became a lively, communal celebration of music and movement, with friends and family joining in. Slated for release on 9/27, Dance, No One's Watching adds a powerful and distinctive voice to Ezra Collective’s groundbreaking contributions to contemporary British music.
