KLEIN "Only" CD
*Commentary: Hajime Oishi *Includes 2 bonus tracks *World's first CD release
Klein, a female singer with roots in Nigeria, has been featured on Gal Halo's latest album, Dust, and has been garnering a lot of attention! Following in the footsteps of Chino Amobi, this is a powerful experimental R&B album from this assassin from the black electronica scene!
Released in 2016 on a heart-shaped USB, it was later made into a vinyl version that immediately sold out. Klein's debut album, which is already hard to find and has become a premium item all over the world, is now finally being made available on CD for the first time in the world!
Her sound is avant-garde and black, blending various elements from her roots in gospel to R&B, hip-hop, dub, juke, and 2-step. It's a mass of originality that makes you want to describe it as Arca meets Solange, psychedelic gospel soul! She was also selected for Laurel Halo's latest album ``Dust'', released by Code 9's Hyperdub, along with Lafawndah, who is signed by the long-established and prestigious electronic label Warp, and is sure to become a leader in the next generation of electronic music!
