My 2019 Playback

On November 12th, singer/songwriter Ab & beat-smith 14KT will release the collaboration album, “Saturn Return.” Five years in the making, the progressive soul album was created during a transitory period of their lives.

While on the surface the album seems to be about a story of a man and woman, it’s also about growing up and reexamining choices to have a better future. Fittingly called Saturn Return after the astrological transit that everyone experiences between ages 27-30, this collaboration between Ab and 14KT show two artists that combine their years of musical experience and personal angst to create a soulful, galactic journey that everyone can relate to.

The first single from the album is a co-produced funk record titled “Lover’s Galaxy” that is reminiscent of legends “Zapp & Roger” due to Ab’s use of the vocoder on top off 14KT’s rhythmic drum pulse. “Lover’s Galaxy” is the introduction to the holy matrimony of 14KT’s hard-hitting drums and euphoric atmosphere coupled with Ab’s melodic and soulful approach to instrumentation.

“Lover’s Galaxy” is also the beginning of the story of “Ab” and “Lalah”, two fictional characters that are caught in a whirlwind romance throughout the entire Saturn Return album. On this record we meet Ab as he’s attempting to court Lalah and encouraging her to “let her guard down.” The invitation is as much for Lalah as it is for the listener that is beginning this journey into a rare soul album with a definitive purpose.

Lover's Galaxy is available for free download at www.saturnreturnalbum.com

SZA - Soberiety (Live Version)

Played it in Rouse's and the lights went out.

I had been telling Markell we were gonna make a song named Mondo since late 2013. So one night we were hanging out; and me, Portman, and my friend Gui had all just smoked in the cemetery across the street from where I live. We went back inside and Portman was talking about this drum break he heard on Never Again by D.R.A.M. He felt like it need to be sampled in one of his beats because it seemed neglected. He proceeded to make this beat. Me, Gui, and Markell started chanting the name from the grave I always smoke at, Rohr Bacher; and then I was like we should make Mondo using this beat. We both did verses to it and that was it. We let people hear it for the first time by performing it last at one of our shows.We recorded it the a couple days before releasing it.  Me and Portman were up until like 6a.m. mixing it and tweaking stuff. Throughout the day me and Markell noticed that different places we went to and played the song had light outages like his school and a supermarket I went to named Rouse's. We're convinced that this song is turning out lights wherever we go.
