Plenty of good vibes to go around as the remarkable voice of Muhsinah evokes the joys of life. Using the months of the calendar along with pleasant sights and sensations as her inspiration, the multi-talented musician gives us reason to stop, look around and embrace the beauty of life through an attractive sound of futuristic Soul.
Enjoy these two selections and head over to her Bandcamp for more aural pleasure.
“First Word Records are thrilled to announce a brand new addition to the label – LA beatmaker and producer 14KT.
Known for his deft, soulful hip hop production, KT has broadened his palate for his FW debut to create ‘For My Sanity’, the first offering from his jazz-influenced project IAMABEENIE.
The album will be released in early 2019, but we couldn’t wait that long to share this taster of what 14KT created as a form of escaping from his “normal” ways of making music. Case in point: the first single taken from the project – ‘The Power of Same’ feat. Muhsinah.
Strongly rooted in KT’s spiritual practice, ‘The Power of Same’ is a bass and synth-heavy ode to consistency and unconditional love, laced nicely together by his signature drum lines, harmonious guitar riffs (played on the track by Stro Elliot) and the unmistakable sound of James Poyser (The Roots). Vocal powerhouse Muhsinah adds layers of emotion via her endearing delivery of the core message, and, deep in the background you can hear KT sharing a very personal routine with us all - giving thanks to God.”
