Acclaimed composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist Kutiman reunites with psych-soul vocalist Dekel for Hope, a stunningly immersive collection of cinematic soul, contemporary jazz and psychedelic groove-driven songwriting. Warm analogue textures, hypnotic rhythms and beautifully layered instrumentation create an album filled with atmosphere, melody and emotional depth. Drawing comparisons to artists such as Khruangbin, SAULT, Michael Kiwanuka, Common Saints and Sholto, Hope effortlessly blends modern soul with deep jazz influences and hazy psychedelic production. From the uplifting title track to the laid-back groove of “Take It Easy”, the album showcases the duo’s remarkable chemistry and ability to craft rich, transportive soundscapes. A deeply rewarding listen for fans of modern alternative soul and groove-focused contemporary music.
