Song:This World
Album:Simple Things: Special Edition
Zero 7 is an electronica duo who have had success mostly in their native England. Henry Binns and Sam Hardaker started out as recording engineers in the 90s working with Pet Shop Boys among others. In 1997 they remixed the Radiohead song Climbing Up The Walls and it did well enough that they decided to start producing their own music as Zero 7. After releasing a 1999 EP, they signed with Palm Pictures which was owned by Island Records founder Chris Blackwell. This World is from their 2001 debut album Simple Things. Binns and Hardaker write and produce the songs. They bring in studio musicians and guest singers. The singer on This World is Osmond "Mozez" Wright. He has gone on to a solo career. Other guest singers are Sia Furler and Sophie Barker. Sia is a very successful solo artist. Simple Things was released in a 2CD special edition in 2019. Zero 7 has released four albums, most recently in 2009. But they are still around releasing occasional singles and all kinds of remixing and producing. Lately they have been releasing their back catalog in special editions. Here's Zero 7 featuring Mozez performing This World at the 2006 Coachella Festival.
