Jai Paul - Leak 04-13 (Bait Ones) (Black) Vinyl LP

A formal vinyl release for Leak 04-13 (Bait Ones), a series of demos that British songwriter and producer Jai Paul recorded between 2007 and 2013 that had been intended to form his debut album Bait Ones but were stolen from him and leaked online. The episode triggered an extended hiatus for a traumatised Paul, but the recordings themselves, although unfinished, surfaced officially in 2019 and have long been held up as extremely forward-thinking and influential on contemporary R&B and pop - Flying Out.

Leak 04-13 (Bait Ones) is the stolen and leaked album now officially released on vinyl. It is without doubt, one of the most joyous, shape shifting pop albums of the last 30 years. It's an album that twists and turns and radiates colours and hooks. Every listen reveals another layer and the unfinished nature just adds to the texture and excellence. Every house needs to own this.
