Featuring brand new tracks from Mdou Moctar, Hildegard, TVOD, Greentea Peng, and TEHYA

Following the release of his debut solo effort, Perceive its Beauty, Acknowledge its Grace, earlier this year, London-based multi-instrumentalist Shabaka Hutchings has returned with a new EP. Titled “Possession,” the six-track project features contributions from previous collaborator E L U C I D of Armand Hammer, along with André 3000, Esperanza Spalding, and billy woods . The blissful flute compositions serve as an expansion of his full-length record, adding another dimension to the transcendent project. Switching out his trusty sax for various flutes, Perceive its Beauty… was a reintroduction to the multi-faceted musician’s artistic exploration. “Possession” is a blissful, boundary-pushing body of work.
