[New Music Alert] Idris Elba Featuring Maverick Sabre “You Give Me Love”

Actor Idris Elba returns to his musical roots with first single “You Give Me Love.” The track which features singer and rapper Maverick Sabre is a fusion of pop/R&B and the sound of South Africa.

“You Give Me Love” will be featured on his latest project “Idris Elba Presents: Mi Mandela.” The eleven-track album was produced while Elba was filming the movie “Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom,” he was drawn by the culture and music of South Africa.

“South Africa has numerous different tribes and each one has a musical expression, and each one has a very unique, different sound style.  At the time I had my studio at the apartment, I was staying in while I was making Mandela—a little keyboard, a laptop—and as an experiment to myself, I vowed to keep making music.” said Idris.
