Mister Johnson

Description

"Mr. Johnson" is Sly taking back control. A dense and varied album without compromise, conceived, played, and embodied like never before. This album features an unmistakable voice and groove forged by nearly 30 years of career, with beatboxing as a compositional instrument and unique harmonic constructions that define its language and make this work one of a kind. No nostalgia or imitation: A modern, organic Soul, nourished by Hip-Hop and Jazz, with that texture that only artists who have lived can impart. The one known as The Mic Buddah delivers his most personal, most free, and most aligned record here. A music that will delight fans of Marvin Gaye, D'Angelo, and Robert Glasper, while never losing its own truth. "Mr. Johnson" condenses ten years of life and twenty-five years of stage experience into a devastating, tender, and hypnotic groove.
