Celebrated Multi-Instrumentalist and Producer Shabaka Debuts New EP: Possession

Renowned musician, Shabaka, releases his new EP, Possession via Impulse! Records. The EP follows his recent critically well-received album, Perceive Its Beauty, Acknowledge It's Grace, and debuts a new track, "To The Moon" with fellow flautist and hip hop luminary André 3000. You can watch the accompanying video that features mesmerizing visuals influenced by the album cover art here.

The Possession EP release coincides with Shabaka's ongoing international tour, which brings his experimental soundscapes and introspective compositions to audiences around the world. Upcoming dates include venues across Australia, Japan, US, and China.

Possession builds on themes from Perceive Its Beauty, Acknowledge Its Grace - a deeply poetic work that NPR Music's Robin Hilton called, "Maybe the most essential listening of the week, if not the year." In addition to Andre 3000, notable musicians joining Shabaka on this musical exploration include special guests, Billy Woods, Elucid, Esperanza Spalding, Nduduzo Makhathini, Brandee Younger, Carlos Niño and Jason Moran.
