Raise your hand if you haven’t heard of The Very Best! They were the biggest music blog faves last year with their  The Very Best mixtape . But for the record, The Very Best is the Swedish/French producer duo Radioclit and the Malawi born singer Esau Mwamwaya. Their debut album, Warm Heart Of Africa will be out September 2nd. The supercatchy title track is featuring Vampire Weekend’s Ezra Koenig on guest vocals.
