IMPORT BLACK VINYL WHEN THE PAST BLOOMED is the latest offering from GOYA GUMBANI. Born in Brooklyn and currently living and making music in South London, over the last 3 years Goya has built a reputation as a soulful lyricist who blends jazz, soul and hip-hop into a modern inclusive fusion ripe with personality and heartfelt emotion.The seven track project introduces us to a more expansive side of Gumbani’s craft with aconsiderable shift in tone and a freshness in perspective. An aural journeying across different lands via disparate voices re-establishes Goya’s attachment to London, New York and Guyana, respectively. Lessons, blessings and loss line the verses, ‘freedoms when the doves fly over the dew’ capturing a candidness in his delivery and shedding that has been hinted at on past projects.Goya enjoys support from an array of skilled musicians in his orbit including PINK SIIFU, JOHN GLACIER, LEX AMOR and LORD APEX production comes from AUGUST FANON, OMARI LYSEIGHT and PABLO PULLEN among others. All the instrumentals on the EP bounce with a comfortable cadence and assured skill. TRACKLISTA1. How You Feel (feat. Lex Amor)A2. Till TheA3. Demon Time (feat. John Glacier)A4.
