\u201cThe Loop<\/strong>\u201d is the new LP by Los Angeles based polymath Shafiq Husayn<\/strong>, released via Eglo Records<\/strong>, an epic project which saw its inception in 2012 through a series of studio sessions at Shafiq<\/strong>\u2019s home, including collaborations with the likes of Thundercat, Erykah Badu, Flying Lotus, Bilal and Anderson Paak. Amongst a close knit circle of friends and family the golden tones of \u201cThe Loop<\/strong>\u201d were created, deeply rooted in ideas of song, story, history, guidance and spirituality. The album bumps, jumps and jangles through progressions in jazz, hip hop, soul and funk, following on from his debut album \u2018Shafiq En\u2019 A-Free-Ka\u2019 and adding further to his rich history of timeless, unique music.<\/p>\n

On \u201cThe Loop<\/strong>\u201d past, present and future are brought together through a psychedelic concoction of time traveling drum machines, celestial string sections and trails of synthesizer vapour. Inflections of Sly Stone, Pharaoh Sanders and Earth Wind And Fire traverse with Marley Marl and Dilla-esqe drums making for an organic yet LA-trifying experience.<\/p>\n

Shafiq<\/strong> has brought together an impressive array of LA’s musical royalty, enlisting the likes of Thundercat, Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, Kamasi Washington, Chris \u2018Daddy\u2019 Dave, Eric Rico, Coultrain, Computer Jay, Jimetta Rose, Om’Mas Keith, Kelsey Gonzalez, I-Ced and more to provide the backbone to his recording sessions. Drawing in features from an international cast of performers and artists like Erykah Badu, Robert Glasper, Hiatus Kaiyote, Fatima and Karen Be amongst others.<\/p>\n

Now complete and finally ready for release in 2019 \u201cThe Loop<\/strong>\u201d is truly something to behold. The records is accompanied by a series of paintings by acclaimed Japanese visual artist Tokio Aoyama, who worked in tandem with Shafiq to create a painting for each song on the record.<\/p>\n
