Lonnie Holley teases upcoming album, Oh Me Oh My, with new single ‘I Am A Part Of The Wonder’ feat. Moor Mother

Celebrated improvisational artist Lonnie Holley is set to release his new album, Oh Me Oh My, on March 10th through Jagjaguwar. Through his music and visual art, Holley has been addressing “how we overcome adversity and tremendous pain; about how we develop and maintain an affection for our fellow travelers; about how we stop wishing for some “beyond” and start caring for the one rock we have”. On his new album, this message is clear and triumphant, in tune with Mother Earth and delivered over a vibrant mix of styles.

To bring Oh Me Oh My to life, Holley enlisted producer Jacknife Lee and a cast of outstanding musicians, such as Moor Mother, Justin Vernon of Bon Iver, Sharon Van Etten, Rokia Koné and Michael Stipe. He comments:

“My art and my music are always closely tied to what is happening around me, and the last few years have given me a lot to thoughtsmith about. When I listen back to these songs I can feel the times we were living through. I’m deeply appreciative of the collaborators, especially Jacknife, who helped the songs take shape and really inspired me to dig deeper within myself.”

Following the title track, Holley is teasing the album again with a jubilant new single, ‘I Am A Part Of The Wonder’ featuring Moor Mother. Check out the accompanying visualizer below and listen to ‘Oh Me, Oh My’ straight after.
