Last month, New York born and based multi-instrumentalist, composer, poet and bioinformatician Tomin announced the release of A Willed and Conscious Balance. Set for release on November 1st through International Anthem, it’s his first album arranged for an ensemble, including members of Irreversible Entanglements and jaimie branch’s FLY or DIE.

Ahead of the release, Tomin has let two staggering singles loose, ‘Love’ and more recently ‘Life’. About the latter, he comments:

“Life is my ode to black women and all the joy and wonder they have brought to my life; written for my sister Caramina, featuring solos from Teiana Davis on Wurlitzer and Clérida Eltimé on cello.”

Listen to both tracks below.
