ISOLATION (BLUE VINYL)

Vinyl LP pressing. 2018 release. Isolation is Kali UchisAEs debut album and features an impressive cast of featured artists and collaborators. Jorja Smith, Damon Albarn, Tame ImpalaAEs Kevin Parker, Tyler, The Creator, Bootsy Collins, Steve Lacy, Two Inch Punch, BADBADNOTGOOD, Thundercat all appear on the American ColombianAEs debut LP. Bookended by the airy, flute-laced aeBody LanguageAE, produced by Thundercat, and the immaculately orchestrated soul of aeKillerAE, recorded with The Dap-Kings in New York, it turns through R&B, on the stuttering beats and skanking guitar of aeMiamiAE, punctuated by a spot from BIA, by way of popping funk on aeJust A StrangerAE, made with her previous collaborator, Steve Lacy. ThereAEs the metronomic electro-pop tick of aeIn My DreamsAE, recorded with Damon Albarn, reciprocating the two appearances Uchis made on their recent record and Tame ImpalaAEs Kevin Parker lines aeTomorrowAE with a disco strut and melancholic synths. The mainstay influences of golden-era soul remain strong as well, here recalibrated to bemoan infidelity on aeFoolAE and rail against corporate vampires on aeTeeth In My NeckAE. The album also includes aeAfter The StormAE featuring Tyler, The Creator and Bootsy Collins, which ascended to the top of Spotify Viral charts across the globe, oNuestro Planetao featuring Reykon and oTyranto featuring Jorja Smith.'
