The Roots to Release Orchestral Album
Interesting news from the legendary Roots crew arrive today as Black Thought told Billboard
Interesting news from the legendary Roots crew arrive today as Black Thought told Billboard that the Philadelphian outfit is plotting another concept album. The follow-up to the band’s 2010 album, How I Got Over, will be a “concept album” with orchestral arrangements.
“This is going to be our first full-fledged narrative concept album. It’s a one-word title that’s spelled incorrectly…what a way to tease you, right? It’s going to be heavy on sort of orchestral chamber music with harder beats in it.”
Black Thought added that conceptually, the album will stem from the “same idea” as “How I Got Over,” but “kind of flipped. Instead of from dark to light, it’s an album that goes from light to dark,” he explained.
