Rick Jade Share Release Date & What Can Be Expected From Upcoming Album ‘DNA’
Rick Jade Share Release Date & What Can Be Expected From Upcoming Album ‘DNA’. Rick Jade will be dropping debut album titled DNA short for Da New Africa on the 23rd of August 2019.
Consisting of a couple Bontle & Priddy Ugly the the album has 10 songs with features including Focalistic and KLY. Already out is the single Bonita which they dropped a music video for last week Friday announcing their pregnancy.
Speaking to Hype magazine the musicians answered some questions on what can be expected from the upcoming album and why they chose to have it as it is.
Is this an album or an EP?
This is a digital album, it was made with the same integrity and attention to detail that albums in back in the day were made. The production is very high quality; all the music is complete, no skits, no interludes, no interruptions. There were no less than 3 producers working on it at a time. We guarantee no skipping of songs will take place during listening. All the music is original, with none of it being sampled.
Why was it important to have as many tracks as you do on the album?
We recorded so much music over the last few months, 3 projects worth of music actually. We already have our 2020 album ready & marinating in the hard drive. With it being the 10th year celebration of our love, we thought it would be fitting to have 10 songs that displayed our versatility, range, and conveyed our message.
What inspired the album title?
The music sounds like what new music from Africa in 2019 should sound and feel like. We are ambassadors of African art, literature, love, and spirituality. The narrative behind the music pushes the agenda of unity, the bond of family, and the sharing of positive energy. We aim to document a renewed narrative for Africa, one that is rich, bold, and unapologetic in its artistic expression. A narrative that is opposite to the one of poverty, war, and divide. The making of this music coincided with the life of the child we are carrying, we will be giving birth to a new generation of Africa, so this is beyond just music for us.
If you had to describe your sound in a sentence, what would you say?
Our sound in one sentence: The GLOBAL AFRICAN SOUND.
In one word: GAS
What’s been the best part of producing music together versus working apart as you have in the past for the majority of your careers?
It’s been completely organic; nothing was forced. We always wanted to share stages together, now we get to do it through our own music. We’ve learned so much more about ourselves in this period and more than anything it’s solidified our union even more.
