k15: hope is perseverance
Kieron Ifill, aka K15, is back with a brand new state of the art of his work and presence in this point in time. Released via his own Esencia imprint, Hope Is Perseverance is a sonic reminder from a seasoned producer, showcasing vision, intent and a unique ability to craft intricate and immersive soundscapes. A powerful and thought-provoking album that demonstrates Khis continued evolution as an artist.
With tracks like "life interrupted," "hollowed," and "new territories," K15 delves into a cinematic world of sound, blending dreamy textures with infectious rhythms. The title track, a nine-minute epic, showcases the producer's skill in building tension and release, combining soulful string arrangements with hypnotic drum programming. A true monster track that is paired with others of similar beauty and details that really fulfil our nerdy, music loving dreams. Hope Is Perseverance is available on vinyl and is one of our favorite albums of the year. It is also, and every time K15 releases new stuff, a good moment to revisit his invaluable discography.
