‘You Haven’t Called’ was written by UB40 founding member, co-vocalist and guitarist Robin Campbell, and features his younger brother Duncan Campbell on lead vocals.
Robin said, “I wrote ‘You Haven’t Called’ over 20 years ago, specifically for a solo album Duncan was recording in Jamaica. It was meant to be a nod to the cool ruler Gregory Isaacs in the style of ‘Night Nurse’ and ‘The Border’. Duncan loved the track, but his producer at the time had other ideas, so the song never made it beyond the demo stage.
“I’ve always harboured a desire to record the song and when I played the demo to the rest of the band everybody loved it, so we decided to rerecord it for our new album.”
The single comes with track’s radio edit, a dub mix and two collaboration versions; the first features Birmingham band KIOKO’s front man Matt Doyle on lead vocals, and the second features Birmingham rapper Gilly G. Both are taken from a special collaborations edition of UB40’s new album ‘For The Many’, alongside a further dub version of the album, both of which will be released later in 2019.
