The group's | | self-entitled debut album was unveiled to the world last fortnight | | and contains eleven full-length tracks. The collective harmonious | | energy on the release is evident as it is not a new partnership | | between the three, as Riggins was the main producer on Common's most | | recent solo studio album, 2016's Black America Again, while Glasper | | also worked heavily on that album too. | | | | The supergroup recently formed after sharing the Primetime Emmy Award | | for outstanding original music and lyrics for Common's smash hit | | Letter To The Free and Common's unprecedented performance at The | | White House in 2016 with this backing live band. The former track | | also featured in Ava DuVernay's 2016 Netflix documentary 13th. After | | certainly not being strangers to one another, the group decided to | | form this welcomed alliance and made their debut performance at New | | York City's Highline Ballroom. | | | | "August Greene" is a somewhat soulful project with Glasper and | | Riggins taking care of the production, creating an easy-listening | | laid back vibe while Common seemingly effortlessly incorporates the | | always timely themes of optimism and black excellence - especially in | | today's climate. The album features guest appearances from the | | soulful Brandy and talented jazz musician Samora Pinderhughes. The | | album was preceded in January by the debut single Optimistic which | | features Brandy (a reprise of the Sounds Of Blackness' 1991 classic), | | while Samora Pinderhughes features on Let's Go and Practice. Overall | | August Greene have developed a sound that successfully spans R&B, | | hip-hop and jazz in a refined, hybrid manner. | | | | | | YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TO BUY THIS SHIT IF YOU LIKE IT RIGHT?! | | | | shout outs to the realest in the game: | | FTD - NOiR - GCP - SO - C4 - CR - m00f - hbZ - FrB | | | | . . | | |\/\/| | | |____| | |------------------------------=---=-======-=---=-------------------------| |===/\===============================SOUNDz==========================/\===| '--/__\--------------------------=-2013-2018-=----------------------/__\--'
