Description
?We Da People? follows Emanuel's recent EP ?Funk La Soul? and will be released via London tastemaker label and analogue specialists Gearbox Records (Binker Golding, Roland Kirk, The Cookers, Abdullah
Ibrahim). Alongside the announcement, Harrold has shared a new single titled ?I Think?, which features two-time GRAMMY-winner, Gregory Porter.
Having made a name for himself both live and record collaborating with the likes of Damon Albarn, Keyon Harrold, Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, De La Soul, and Gregory Porter, ?We Da
People? marks a new chapter in Harrold?s solo career.
The LP is a positive combination of uplifting messages and improvisational sounds that transcend R&B, jazz, soul, gospel, and funk. The release also sees Harrold bring in a number of estimable guest musicians including Gregory Porter, Charles Ransom II & Crystal ?Crissy? Ransom, Jahmal Nichols, Carlos ?Scooter? Brown, Tivon Pennicott, Joel Holmes, Brian Owens, and more.
Featuring lead vocals from his long-time friend and collaborator Gregory Porter, the new single and album opener ?I Think? perfectly encapsulates the sound of the album by combining gospel-tinged soul vocals, with jazz-funk inflected guitars, uplifting orchestral strings, groove heavy bass that is interweaved with Harrold?s precise, high energy drumming.
