Greentea Peng has announced her debut album.
'Man Made' is due out on June 4 via AMF Records and includes the newly shared Kali V2, along with previous lead single Nah It Ain't The Same, among its genre-hopping 18 tracks that weave together elements of hip hop, jazz, neo-soul, rock, ragga, and drum and bass.
The captivating new offering, meanwhile, combines dreamy, dark, lo-fi production with entrancing lyrics referencing the Hindu goddess Kali Ma. Head below to view the ABOVEGROUND-filmed video, as well as the record's artwork and tracklist.
The south London artist is joined on the LP by her live band The Seng Seng Family, with Earbuds as executive-producer, alongside Swindle, Mala and longtime collaborators Samo and Kiko. Mixing was handled by Commissioner Gordon. Peng wrote a manifesto about the release, which reads:
"MAN MADE- an exploration of self and sound. A product of shifting paradigms both inner and outer.
"An ULTRA SONIC TRIP. This album is an offering of healing, a provocation of Hu Man spirit soul.
"Out of tune with the industry and in tune with the universe, this is a 432hrz production. Deliberately detuned out of any Babylon standard! It is to be felt…like a buzzing bee, in one's chest. A VIBRATION. A jambalaya of expression, this project fits no genre, not to be digested easily by everyone.
"However for those occupying the same space right now, upholding the frequency at such a transformative and challenging moment in time…I trust THIS SOUND will find you.
"Dedicated and inspired by the late Jimtastic, join me and my boys as we travel the Sonicsphere on the way back to centre, through the depths of apathy and the heights of interconnection through surrender…
"I offer you MAN MADE."
