Hidden Pathways

A 6 track folk pop ep (19m 53s) — released January 21st 2022 on Fish Legs Records

Songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer CJ Pedley has lived a life compelled by soulfull songs and music, over the years he has created across genres from 70's Funk to Afro House and Latin Jazz. His other current guises include Beating Heart Project - Saronde - a global collaborative project working with field recordings from the International Library of African Music. He has also led a raw funk band called The Baker Brothers, since 2001. Hailing from the New Forest in the south UK, Pedley's latest collection of recordings ramble into the worlds of folk and pop.

Through recent times, Pedley has been inspired on daily hikes, in the solace of nature, distilling emotions and life experiences into intimate songs. Thus yielding his first solo EP 'Hidden Pathways'. This EP poetically covers subject matters including new beginnings, humanity, bereavement and saying goodbye to the old world. These songs are touching but leave the listener with feelings of hope. Pedley teamed up with three amazing guest vocalists who tenderly conveyed the essence of each song, 2 from the USA, Jessie and Sincerious and Hannah Williams from the UK. Talented instrumental collaborators from around the world stepped up for the production to build a blissful sound bed including a plethora of strings and percussion. The EP also includes instrumentals of the tunes and Coen's ethereal remix of Hannah Williams's 'Born To Be A Dancer'.
