YBSA (Your Beauty Stands Alone) is an alternative R&B song about love and beauty. The distinctive, richly textured, velvet voice of Sam Jones, glides effortlessly between the characteristic groove of Joe Dworniak’s bass line and production creating an unmistakable iLEVEL sound!

Originally sitting on the edge of the BritFunk era and underground scene, iLEVEL released 2 albums via Virgin Records. ‘Give Me’ & ‘Minefield’ reached no.5 & no.11 in the Billboard R&B and Club charts under license to EPIC.

Their sound fuses their diverse musical interests, influenced by their love for funk, soul, jazz, reggae, hip-hop and pop.

The video was shot in London as the UK lockdown started to lift and celebrates the beauty of love and friendship with a cast made up of family & friends.

“What a tune … it’s so good to hear these guys back together again and making music. It’s a beauty! Wow! …that voice, that beautiful voice of Sam” Gary Crowley BBC Radio London

It’s Happened Before is the first release from ‘ANAPHORA’, a new solo album project from Joe Dworniak … producer, composer & songwriter.

Joe’s soundscapes are richly emotive and create multi-layered atmospheres, evoking both expectation and calm, this composition asks us to remain grounded.

Working once again with Fernando de France, longterm friend and collaborator, this short form mini-film highlights their respect for each others work and allowed for a wordless and instinctive process.  It has been the foundation of their relationship built up over many years.

Joe Says “I have always admired Fernando’s ability to capture powerful messages wrapped in gentle beauty”

Filmed in Almería, as the Spanish lockdown eased, ‘It’s Happened Before’ was shot on 16mm, Super 8mm & Video HD.
