Ibrahim Maalouf’s 17th album, “Capacity to Love,” is a hymn to inclusion, sharing, and identity in a world where asserting one’s differences has become divisive. This new album is a beacon of hope and tolerance, enhanced by a guest list as stunning as it is unexpected. “Capacity to Love” lives up to Ibrahim Maalouf’s ambitions. The renowned trumpeter has invited artists such as crooner Gregory Porter, Pos from the legendary American rap group De La Soul, English pop icon JP Cooper, Erick the Architect, the charismatic leader of Flatbush Zombies, and D Smoke, the new Mozart of US rap and winner of “Rhythm + Flow.” The album also shines with the presence of French singer and guitarist -M-, Cuban phenomenon Cimafunk, New Orleans’ new sensation Tank and the Bangas, Quincy Jones’ protégé Sheléa Frazier, and new talent Alemeda, recently signed to TDE, Kendrick Lamar’s historic label. Finally, Ibrahim Maalouf has invited pop culture icons such as Sharon Stone and Charlie Chaplin. Ibrahim Maalouf embarks on a new adventure that already promises to be historic. With “Capacity to Love,” he seeks to honor the art of urban music with class and humility, while developing an aspect of his work that no one would have imagined a few years ago. It’s a true festival reflecting the artist’s dreams. For the first time, Ibrahim Maalouf decided to produce an album in collaboration with two production geniuses, NuTone and Henry Was.
