The album, set for release on Friday, September 13th via Sony Music Masterworks, features original compositions alongside a vast repertoire of covers (Justin Timberlake, Sade, Nirvana, Miles Davis\/Bill Evans, Debussy, Mozart) arranged by the guitar prodigy and co-produced with Dan Book (blink-182, Shania Twain, Britney Spears). Joined by Portugal. The Man and singer-songwriter Delaney Bailey, as well as guitarists Tim Henson and Ichika Nito, the Polish-born phenomenon has assembled 14 genre-spanning tracks that seamlessly blend into a powerful artistic statement.\n\"I was born in 2000, the year of the dragon, and I’m releasing my debut album in 2024, another dragon year, so the idea felt very natural,\" Marcin explains about his debut. \"And then there’s this idea of harmony, which is the opposite of all that. For the past few years, I’ve done a lot of things, but I haven’t necessarily coalesced them into a whole—everything has been fragmented. But now I'm finally making an artistic statement that is coherent rather than fractured. The dragon is in harmony.”\nBeginning the album with a pair of cleverly named original compositions, \"Guitar Is Dead\" and \"I Killed It,\" Marcin makes a bold, declarative statement about the state of the guitar and his personal journey as an artist, brilliantly weaving together melody, harmony, and percussive hand slaps.\n\"‘Guitar Is Dead’ is kind of my response to the guitar purists,” Marcin explains about the album opener, continuing, “It’s me declaring, ‘Yes, you’re right. The guitar is dead. Keep doing everything that’s been done before.’ My goal has always been to show broad audiences that my style of playing is just another way to play the guitar—there’s no barrier to entry.”\nHeralded by *Rolling Stone*, *Billboard*, *Premier Guitar*, and *Guitar World*, who dubbed him \"one of the most talented guitarists of his generation,” Marcin has earned millions of fans and followers, performance after performance, whether through his viral internet videos or appearances on hit TV shows. Marcin’s virtuosic technique has earned him recognition from artists across genres and generations, from guitar heroes like Tom Morello and Paul Stanley to pop icons like Madonna and Jungkook (BTS), and even hip-hop heavyweights like Timbaland and Ty Dolla $ign.
