scrimshire: listeners
Francisco Espregueira
After six years of relearning and development in the studio, Adam Scrimshire searched for a more focused sound on his latest project: Listeners, released last week via Albert’s Favourites. Featuring a host of esteemed guest vocalists and musicians, that join to tell their own personal stories: Georgia Anne Muldrow, Emma-Jean Thackray, Joshua Idehen, Madison McFerrin, Chip Wickham, and James Alexander Bright. Adam Scrimshire produces, listens…
Struggling to find his own words, Scrimshire allowed his collaborators total freedom. As they came back to him, they were saying the things he meant to be said, resulting in some deeply personal confessional pieces. Listeners is a warm album, sounding magnificently polished in all its elements. Musically, the project draws from Scrimshire's passion for jazz, soul and electronic music of all styles; from combinations of Afrobeat and garage, to orchestrated neo-soul moments, and harmonious jazz experimentations. Available on vinyl.
