About

Spotted two years ago by Mark Ronson to record a cover of ‘Uptown Funk’ at Abbey Road, the talented multi-instrument playing Ayoub Sisters now return to Abbey Road to record their album with a full symphony orchestra.

They perform their own arrangements of classical and pop tracks, including an upbeat and jazz-influenced full orchestral arrangement of ‘Uptown Funk’.

Also featured is a newly-composed track, ‘Call to Prayers’, which brings together musical themes from Islam and Christianity.

Other items include ‘Melodies from Scotland’, a medley of Scottish music previously released by the girls for Burns Night, and a stunning arrangement of ‘Mother’s Pride’.

Mark Ronson said: “It was brilliant to bring together unique talents and produce a new cover of Uptown Funk. It’s an honour that such talented people are interested in my music... we created something special.”
