‘Wild World’ is Barry Taylor’s self-penned and sung contribution to the critically acclaimed and much lauded NINE BEATS TO THE BAR album (Plankton Records. CD, digital & double deluxe vinyl) by NINE BEATS COLLECTIVE, a collaboration of world class musicians, artists, and songwriters who have come together from different continents, different cities, and different experiences, all on the trail of exploring the ancient wisdom of the Bible sayings known as ‘the beatitudes’.

‘Wild World’ is built on an old-school R&B vibe that grabs your attention and refuses to let go. On an album packed full of truly great songs, ‘Wild World’ was one of those that lept out and caught the attention of reviewers and radio programme planners alike. It was felt by Barry and the Nine Beats team that revisiting the track and remixing it would help with the up-coming promotional work in mainland Europe and the orginal album producer, and noted remixer, Tony Bean went back into the studio and created this brilliant ‘Euro’ remix which is now being released Worldwide right at the start of what is hoped to be an exciting landmark year for the whole NINE BEATS COLLECTIVE project
