Label Press Release - Andre Akinyele Releases R&B/Hip-Hop CD 6.3.2016
May 23, 2016
The Unauthorized Playlist, available June 3, 2016, by multi-instrumentalist Andre Akinyele offers pristine vocal arrangements on top of an ol' skool vibe. Taking cues from contemporary hip-hop, R&B, and "neo-soul" visionaries, such as Pharrell Williams, Erykah Badu, and D'Angelo to create a distinctive consciousness, The Unauthorized Playlist uses underground hip-hop, funk, and futuristic sounds to explore the madness of keeping secrets, the anger of friendship betrayal, and the rise of self-empowerment.
A worthy contrast to his earlier works, The Unauthorized Playlist is sexy, direct, and intimate with songs like "After Dark," "Turnin' Me To Stay," and "Midnight," with the latter evoking R&B/Soul singer Maxwell. The Unauthorized Playlist backs away from the typical mixtape scheme and introduces a playlist concept.
Put on your headphones and bounce, as The Unauthorized Playlist is one of Andre Akinyele's most electrifying, eccentric works.
