Oddisee shares new track and video from forthcoming instrumental album

11 September 2013

There are several reasons to look forward to this Autumn, with so many exciting album releases lined up. One of them is The Beauty In All, the new instrumental album from Washington, DC born rapper and producer Oddisee.
Amir Mohamed el Khalifa, the man behind Oddisee, describes his upcoming album:

“The Beauty In All is about the flaws, & mistakes that give life its character & worth. How even ignorance can give light to knowledge. For me, not knowing how to do something & still trying is apart of the evolutionary process. The slight mutations from artist to artist through out the generations giving birth to new ideas, methods & eventually genres. If the instructions to everything we’re presented in perfect tutorials, I may have never deviated from the teacher. This record is dedicated to imperfection & the sense of pride & accomplishment we get from our struggles. Hopefully you listen to this record & reflect on the ups & downs of life & see The Beauty In All.”

The album arrives on October 1st via Mello Music Group. Oddisee had already unveiled the album’s magnificent first single ‘Lonely Planet’. Now he’s teasing us further with a new stunning and serene track, ‘After Thoughts’, with a befitting accompanying video directed by Grégoire Marty. Don’t let these two gems slip away, nor the The Beauty In All when it drops.
