Jah Wobble & Tian Qiyi share ‘Strawberry Fields Forever’ ahead of ‘Mystic Liverpool’

Jah Wobble and Tian Qiyi unveiled “Strawberry Fields Forever” on July 14, 2026, as the second single from their forthcoming album “Mystic Liverpool: The Beatles’ Psychedelic Psongbook,” arriving August 14 via Cherry Red Records and 30 Hertz. The track reimagines the Beatles’ 1967 composition through Eastern instrumentation, featuring Charlie Wardle on morin khuur and vocals alongside his mother Zi Lan Liao on guzheng, with John T Wardle contributing drums and yangqin while Wobble anchors the arrangement with dub bass. Recorded and mixed at Liverpool’s Pagoda Studios, the production emphasizes spacious textures and hypnotic layering rather than direct replication. Wobble noted the song’s formative role in his childhood, positioning it as the conceptual centerpiece of an album recontextualizing ten Beatles psychedelic-era compositions through a fusion of Western and Chinese musical traditions. The release follows the lead single “Tomorrow Never Knows” from June 2026.
