I Was Told There'd Be Gold

Description

This album concludes a trilogy spanning several years, a deeply personal journey told through sound. I Was Told There'd Be Gold is not merely the final chapter of a story, but a profound reflection on the search for something that was promised to us. The chords and samples were meticulously crafted and cut by Rashad himself in his home studio, surrounded by his family. Driven by the desire to create an authentic and unique work, he drew from his memories. The result is timeless Black music, blending classic breakbeats, Brazilian soul, house music, R&B slow jams, and even a captivating jazz orchestration on the final track, "make believe." I Was Told There'd Be Gold explores the pact Rashad seems to have made with his creator. He refuses to take "No" for an answer and waits faithfully for his promise to be fulfilled.
