UB40 – The Artist

UB40 are an English reggae and pop band, formed in 1978 in Birmingham, England. The band has had more than 50 singles in the UK Singles Chart, and has also achieved considerable international success with over 70 million records sold worldwide. The ethnic make-up of the band’s original line-up was diverse, with musicians of English, Welsh, Irish, Jamaican, Scottish and Yemeni parentage. The band’s line-up was stable for nearly 29 years, from 1979 until January, when frontman Ali Campbell left the band.

So Here I Am is a song by British Reggae group UB40 and written by the band. It was taken from their third studio album UB44.

The Location Pin – The Shape

Modelled into the silhouette of a modern day digital location pin that is favoured by mapping software to show the whereabouts of searched items or locations.

Birmingham is a city and metropolitan borough in the metropolitan county of West Midlands, within the wider West Midlands region, in England. It is the largest local authority district in England by population and the second-largest city in Britain – commonly referred to as the second city of the United Kingdom – with a population of 1.2 million people in the city proper in 2024. Birmingham borders the Black Country to its west and, together with the city of Wolverhampton and towns including Dudley and Solihull, forms the West Midlands conurbation. The royal town of Sutton Coldfield is incorporated within the city limits to the northeast. Birmingham’s urban area has a population of 2.7 million and its wider metropolitan area has a population of 4.3 million.

This song is not to be confused with “Here I Am (Come and Take Me)” which is a 1973 song by Al Green, the second single released from his album Call Me. In 1990, British reggae-pop band UB40 released a cover of “Here I Am (Come and Take Me)” as the second single from their ninth studio album, Labour of Love II, in January 1990.
