Best New albumShamir — Hope
Posted by LetsLoop on April 17, 2017, 1:20 pm On the verge of quitting music for good, alt-pop artist @Shamir Bailey has surprise released a new album called Hope, which was recorded over the weekend and released today.Here's what Shamir had to say about it on his SoundCloud page:
"I was gonna quit music this weekend. From day 1 it was clear i was an accidental pop star. I loved the idea of it, i mean who doesn't? Still the wear of staying polished with how im presented and how my music was presented took a huge toll on me mentally. I started to hate music, the thing i loved the most! When i would listen to immaculate recordings with my friends their praise over the quality of the art as opposed to the art itself made me feel really sad for music as a medium in general. My music only feels exciting for me if its in the moment, and thats what this album is. I made this album this past weekend stuck in my room with just a 4 track feeling hopeless about my love for music. Im not gonna lie, this album is hard to listen to, but it was even harder for me to share. I love pop music, i love outsider music, and i love lofi music, this is my way of combining all 3. Anyway I played, wrote, produced, and mixed everything and big thanks to Kieran Ferris for Mastering an album with an hours notice! its free! Enjoy! Love Yall! Still more 2 come!!!!!!!"
This is Shamir's first new release since his stunning 2015 debut album Ratchet. If you'd like a quick taste of the album's highlights, check out In For the Kill, Call It Off and the infectious On the Regular.
