Multi-Grammy-Winning Esperanza Spalding Unveils New Studio Album

Emily’s D+Evolution

Release Date: March 4^th 2016

“A beautiful piece from the Grammy-winning Esperanza Spalding?” MarkMeets

Esperanza Spalding’s new project Emily’s D+Evolution, set for release on March 4^th on Concord Records, is a fresh artistic vision for the 4-time GRAMMY winner, a daring tapestry of music, vibrant imagery, performance art and stage design. Co-produced by Esperanza and Tony Visconti (David Bowie), the album is an electrifying take on the power trio adorned with backing singers and touches of synthesizer, “as if to fly the pirate flag of the Black Rock Coalition” according to The New York Times.

The video for ‘Good Lava’ is available to view below

Esperanza assembled a new band for Emily’s D+Evolution including guitarist Matthew Stevens (Christian Scott) and drummer Karriem Riggins (Madlib, Erykah Badu). She recorded some of the album’s eleven tracks in front of a small audience in a Los Angeles studio. The result is otherworldly cosmic soul; kinetic songs that burst with energy and life. Album opener “Good Lava” offers a grand salvo: sinewy riffs doubled on electric bass and distorted guitar with melodies that stick and float across registers.

Esperanza’s recent performance of ‘One’ on Jimmy Kimmel Live is available here:

Spalding, who has performed everywhere from the Oscars to the White House, will tour extensively around the world in support of Emily’s D+Evolution. Dates to be announced in due course.
