Product Description
The latest album from Jordan Rakei, the mellow soul craftsman beloved by everyone from Tom Misch and FKJ to Nile Rodgers, is finally complete. Jordan Rakei, a genius whose collaborations and partnerships with Tom Misch, Loyle Carner, and Alfa Mist symbolize the vibrant London scene, releases his third original album in two years, "Origin"! In contrast to the personal and intimate portrait depicted in his previous work, "Wallflower," this album, as heard in the lead single "Say Something," swings the classic songwriting of his revered Stevie Wonder and Steely Dan with a groove inherited from ATCQ, Pete Rock, and 9th Wonder, moving in a more soulful and open direction. Despite tackling the serious theme of "the future of humanity confronting AI systems," this album, a definitive work symbolizing his fulfilling career, includes sessions with Nile Rodgers of Chic and Terrace Martin, as well as DJ sets under the name Dan Kai, which have been praised by Bonobo. The Japanese CD version of this album, which will be released worldwide on June 12th, will include lyric translations and liner notes, and will also feature the bonus track "Always Coming." In addition to the imported CD/LP, a limited number of clear vinyl editions will also be released simultaneously.
