TRESOR’s fourth solo studio album follows on from his collaborative amapiano effort RUMBLE IN THE JUNGLE and the kaleidoscopic Afropop of Nostalgia. Crafting a borderless and timeless iteration of African pop, he infuses highlife percussion, maskandi guitar and Afro-jazz rhythms into his latest offering. While embedding these traditional sounds, the singer-songwriter’s signature inclination towards experimentation ties this continental DNA into vibrant pop, dance and electronic soundscapes. The Da Capo- and Sun-El Musician-assisted opener ‘‘Lighthouse’’ sets the tone for TRESOR boldly venturing into the contemporary worlds of his collaborators, as he references Afropop on the Ami Faku-featuring ‘‘Smoke & Mirrors’’, infuses the Scorpion Kings’ amapiano into ‘‘Nyota’’ and reunites with Msaki for the Afro-house ‘‘Hold Me Down’’.
