KAMASI’S BACK!
Kamasi Washington’s “Fearless Movement”: A Groundbreaking Album
Jazz enthusiasts, get ready for Kamasi Washington’s new album, “Fearless Movement,” releasing May 3 via Young. Known for his expansive musical explorations, Washington’s latest venture offers a fresh perspective, diving into the realm of dance and personal expression. This project is heavily inspired by the birth of his first child, adding a deeply personal layer to his music.
“Fearless Movement” is described by Washington as a dance album, but not in the traditional sense. It’s about expressing one’s spirit through music, similar to dance’s physical expression. This new focus represents a shift from cosmic themes to exploring everyday life and personal growth.
The album is a family affair, featuring a track with a melody composed by Washington’s daughter and contributions from a mix of new and long-time collaborators like André 3000, George Clinton, Thundercat, and more. These collaborations promise a rich, multifaceted listening experience.
For those eager to dive into Washington’s new sound, “Fearless Movement” is now available for preorder at Analogue October Records
This release is not just an album; it’s a pivotal moment in Washington’s career, showcasing his evolution both as an artist and as a person. It invites listeners to explore the depth of human expression through the universal language of music. And I for one cant wait to give it a spin…
