Feel the vibes

It’s been over three years since his debut album Timez Are Weird These Days dropped, but Theophilus London is preparing to drop his sophomore project, Vibes.

Theo has spent the last few years travelling, doing shows, and has no doubt grown as a person, and from what we’ve heard — as an artist as well. So far, he’s dropped two singles from Vibes: “Neu Law” — a dark, dreary song reminiscent of Timez hit “Last Name London;” and “Tribe” — a fast, Jesse Boykins-assisted track reminiscent of his older work that’s sure to get your feet moving.

On top of Theo’s own talent, the entire album was executive produced over the course of a year by none other than Kanye West. He also recruited his new friend, and legendary designer, Karl Lagerfeld to ‘art direct’ the album.

Theo has made it clear from the start that Vibes will be 100% original, no samples… so he also brought in some help from Leon Ware, a long-time collaborator with Marvin Gaye.

I have been looking forward to this album for years now, and I have high expectations. It’s set to drop on October 27th, and is available now for pre-order. Purchasing now gives you access to the first two singles immediately.

 

New Theophilus London

Theophilus London is one of my favourite artists and someone who cannot be defined by a genre. For the sake of argument, I’ve always described the Trinidad-bred, Brooklyn-trained artist’s sound to friends as indie-electro-hop. His beats are often laced with synths and smooth, deep bass. His flow is smooth and constantly changing project-to-project, and he always tells it like it is, saying whatever’s on his mind.

After a bit of a hiatus – from producing new music at least – TL is back with a preview of his new track “Do Girls,” which will be featured on his upcoming Lovers Holiday II EP. Be sure not to sleep on his sophomore album Vibes, dropping later this year. TL is doing big things, and after the success of his first album, and his growing status as a style icon (even  Forbes sees it), the man is set for world domination. Don’t miss it.
