Lyrics

Peace world
New day, new mission
Go for yours

Good morning, where the breakfast at, I’m starving
Pour me up a glass of simply orange, you know the routine
I only vibe to the classics, they marvel
That’s how I get the day started
Finish up this food, open up the blinds in my bedroom
And let the sunlight shine through
Playing for the homies ‘cause I understand you gotta climb, fool
I’m 100% behind you, we do this for a higher purpose
The lower homie say he tired of working
Soon it will pay off, it’s all worth it
Just need that positive push, going to jail is a horrible look
Stuck in the game, stay surrounded by crooks
Don’t watch the news, it keeps me stressing and depressed
That news hurts my soul like a lump in my chest
Don’t get discouraged lil’ homie, we blessed
Everything you going through now, it’s only a test

See, I’m just tryna make today
Better than yesterday
Better than yesterday
Let’s make today
Better than yesterday
Better than yesterday
Let’s make today
Better than yesterday
Better than yesterday
Let’s make today
Better than yesterday
Better than yesterday

Every time I’m chilling with pop Dukes I get inspired by his stories
Peace to all the fallen soldiers that came before me
He always say it was the good old days, this four beers kinda remind you of Frankie and Maze
The grey hair represents wisdom, we living
The world is yours, son, and can’t nobody tell you different
Soaking up the game like a sponge, can’t forget my day one
This is where I came from, they told me I was special
My brother used to hustle sun up to sun down and said I better not get you
Look me in the eye, said this ain’t for you, find something better to do
Like focus on your future
I represent the people, I’m coming with an army
Forget what they saying ‘cause your comments will never harm me
I would’ve been saying something if I needed your help
But everything you niggas offering, I do for myself
Try to make a strong connection so my presence is felt
My mentality is get it yourself
Fresh daily, salvage denim with the cuff and my runaway chucks
Just to show it off in public, it’s a must, we live it up
Fast bucks, stack it up, share the wealth with the team, living the African American dream
Gotta stay on point and keep your game intact
Sometimes it could be your own people holding you back
Or maybe it’s you, I mean maybe it’s you
I say you gotta stay on point and keep your game intact
Sometimes it could be your own people holding you back
Or maybe it’s you, I said maybe it’s you
I say you gotta stay on point and keep your game intact
Sometimes it could be your own people holding you back

See, we’re just tryna make today
Better than yesterday
Better than yesterday
Let’s make today
Better than yesterday
Better than yesterday
Let’s make today
Better than yesterday
Better than yesterday
Let’s make today
Better than yesterday
Better than yesterday

Laid back soul sounds as the inimitable Andrew Ashong joins forces with Albert's Favourites label founder Jonny Drop. 

Sultry vocals compliment the yearning sound of horns (courtesy of former Funk Lovin' Criminal, Brian "Fast" Leiser) and mellow, warm bass movement. A magical combination dropping hints of what's to come on the full length LP in April.

If 2022’s The Children Of Scorpio was the debut album that turned people onto the world of Project Gemini aka Paul Osborne, Colours & Light is the body of work that will be buried deep into their hearts. It is a majestic album, bringing together the worlds of folk rock, psych soundtracks and hazy cinematic funk.
 
A growing confidence and ease emanate from the writing and production of this sophomore LP, bolstered by the reception to his standout debut. “It’s a more layered and diverse record” Paul mentions, “with a more outward-looking, global sound, born out of the records I was listening to and the musicians I was lucky enough to collaborate with”. It feels relaxed yet self-assured, with a kaleidoscope of sounds that twist together in a mesmerising fashion.
 
The theme of the album developed naturally through the lyrics Paul began writing. A creative process both plagued and fed by insomnia, nourished by relationships, entwined in emotions, nights out, nights in and the after-effects on the human condition. Relatable themes yet seen through the prism of a soundscape that takes in many a different culture and scene. From acid folk to psych-funk, Francophile elements to Anatolian and Eastern inspirations, all interlocking and rotating as one.
 
Drawing inspiration from those he admires, Colours & Light radiates with collaborations. The title track, which tips its hat to a live 1973 TV version of Pentangle’s ‘Wedding Dress’, features the folk rock, guitar brilliance of Jack Sharp from Wolf People/Large Plants.
 
Elsewhere, two tracks are blessed by the sultry, smokey French vocals of Gloria’s Wendy Martinez, ‘Extra Nuit’ and ‘Entre chien et loup’. The former echoes Paul's love of classic French psych-pop from the late ’60s and early ’70s and artists such as Laurance Vanay, Calcium, Leonie, and Serge Gainsbourg. Martinez's sublime vocal work nestles perfectly within Paul's psych-folk-funk productions, as her Gloria partner, Alexis Morel (aka Kid Victrola) sprinkles a dose of entrancing guitar line magic on proceedings.
 
The list of collaborations extends further with Raz and Markey Funk, drummer Tony Coote and percussionist Paul Elliott all featuring. Regular collaborator and underground icon Barrie Cadogan (Little Barrie) returns along with Bert Page from The Cromagnon Band, who between them provide a hit of whacked-out, fuzzed-up country guitar and Moog madness respectively on ‘Lost In The Woods (Bacchanal)’.
 
Rounding off the record Paul’s daughter, Olivia Osborne, supplies the keyboard intro on the penultimate track ‘Twilight’. Dorian Conway from The Soundcarriers (whose bandmate Paul Isherwood returns on mixing duties) then layers echoing heavy flute parts to magically capture the psychedelic sunrise images brought to mind. 
 
Balancing light and shade on this record, there is beauty and tension all wrapped up in Paul’s vivid and visceral, storytelling gift.

Jenova 7 is the musical “nom de plume” of Boston-based multimedia artist Michael J. Sirois (born 1989). His genres include trip-hop, downtempo, chill-out and instrumental hip-hop. He was featured on Mushroom Jazz 8, the latest volume of legendary DJ Mark Farina's iconic chillout compilation series.

He is most recognized for the “Dusted Jazz” instrumental series, distinct for exploring jazz grooves, organic drum breaks and moody, cinematic vibes. His style is influenced by the pioneering trip-hop artists of the 90s such as DJ Shadow, DJ Krush, DJ Cam and Portishead, as well as sample based Golden Era hip-hop producers such as DJ Premier and Pete Rock.

In late 2010, after graduating from college with a degree in film, he moved to Los Angeles for a year and started making music as “Jenova 7” with the trip-hop netlabel Dusted Wax Kingdom. In late 2013, he joined the Los Angeles based Cold Busted record label.

As a self-taught musician, his style has been inspired and guided by his versatile taste in music and his love for visual storytelling. Every album is meant to be the soundtrack to an imaginary film. His albums are a blend of the past and present—a mix of vintage crate digger samples accompanied by live instrumentation. His solo performances often feature original cinematic background visuals set behind simultaneous MPC beatmaking and improvised guitar playing.

He has collaborated with French trip-hop producer Hugo Kant and produced instrumentals for Craig G of the legendary Juice Crew hip-hop collective. He is also a member of the enigmatic trip-hop trio Wax Triptych, alongside fellow artists Mononome & Mr. Moods.
