lordkez SET TO RELEASE NEW EP ‘CHARCOTTA’
Citing Erykah Badu, Mac Miller and Scarlxrd as some of the artists who have influenced her musical taste, it is not a surprise that this genre-fluid masterpiece is as diverse as it is focused.
The 9-track EP - spanning a vast and profoundly musical soundscape - is a breath of fresh air in that merges the sophistication of classic cadences with the contemporary sensibilities of the new wave, in a manner that seduces as much as it disarms.
Recorded during a period of personal transition and spiritual growth, the project offers a profoundly layered experience exploring love, melancholy, youthful indiscretion, ego, meditation; all cosily tied together with a bow made from bespoke vocal deliveries and inventive arrangements.
On Charcotta, lordkez enlist the help of a handful of diversely dynamic peers from around the globe to elevate the listening experience; these includie Maryland emcee J-Tek, UK fusion-jazz musician Blind MIC, Nigeria’s Alté leader AYLØ, and South African lyrical juggernaut Priddy Ugly.
Of her collaborators, “I wanted to work with like-minded people who were on the same creative frequency as I was during the period I recorded Charcotta. I have great respect for everyone who contributed to this project and I’m eternally grateful for their vibes.”
Charcotta will be released through Steyn Entertainment, under the STAY LOW subsidiary; available worldwide on 25 September 2020.
