{"product_id":"waan_we-want-waan_2026_lba","title":"We Want Waan","description":"The Dutch duo WAAN returns with their second album, We Want WAAN, an unclassifiable exploration of rhythm, improvisation and emotions. Following the critical success of their debut album, Echo Echo (2023), which earned two Edison Award nominations, saxophonist Bart Wirtz and keyboardist Emiel van Rijthoven deepen their musical dialogue on We Want WAAN. The result is a rich, cinematic album, fusing jazz, electronic and beat culture with raw emotional clarity. The album's inspiration was born on the isolated Dutch island of Texel, where the duo retreated during the summer of 2024 to compose freely, free from any constraints of format, genre or expectation. \"You give the track everything it needs,\" explains WAAN. This simple principle paved the way for string flights, broken time signatures, crowd recordings and bold collaborations. A key moment comes with \"Been Blue,\" a striking fusion of jazz and hip-hop featuring Ivy Sole, a rapper, singer and producer from Philadelphia — a powerful voice in the global non-binary music movement. Recognized for her poetic lyricism and emotional finesse, Sole brings to this track an assertive vulnerability, addressing grief, identity and resistance. The album was produced in collaboration with Oscar de Jong (Kraak \u0026amp; Smaak), reflecting the tension and beauty of WAAN's musical identity: one foot in jazz tradition, the other deeply rooted in an improvised, forward-looking sound world.","brand":"Waan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57307712717144,"sku":null,"price":20260123.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/0821730054916.jpg?v=1779009097","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en\/products\/waan_we-want-waan_2026_lba","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
