Jo is joined in studio by the Grammy Award winning jazz sensation Gregory Porter, on the day he releases his first single 鈥楻evival鈥� from his upcoming album 鈥楢ll Rise鈥�.

鈥楻evival鈥� sets the tone of his forthcoming record, which marks a return to his beloved original songwriting 鈥� heart-on-sleeve lyrics imbued with everyday philosophy and real-life detail, set to a stirring mix of jazz, soul, blues, and gospel.

"Yes, you could say that I went big," says Gregory about the track, which features a handpicked horn section and 10-member choir. He explains, 鈥淔or me, it鈥檚 the message of walking into this life and having some fear and self-doubt, and the point where you grab onto something that you know is real, the silent and real things, the truth鈥� Once you can wrap onto the truth then this fearlessness comes.鈥�

His sixth studio album 鈥楢ll Rise鈥� is out on 17th April.

And whether you鈥檙e picking up or dropping off, Jo provides the soundtrack for the Taxi Service.
