Semplicemente dolcissima questa “What Are We Made Of?”, nuova traccia condivisa e resa disponibile in free download da Shigeto ieri direttamente su Bandcamp. L’artista di Ann Arbor torna quindi a farsi sentire a distanza di qualche mese dalla pubblicazione di tre tracce inedite su Soundcloud, prodotte per ammissione dello stesso Zach nel periodo di “pausa” intercorso tra l’uscita dello splendido album “No Better Time Than Now” (uscito nel 2013) e l’ultimo EP pubblicato su Ghostly International, “Intermission”: prodotta pochi giorni fa, “What Are We Made Of?” è un inno d’amore che Shigeto vuole regalare ai suoi connazionali, in un momento socialmente e politicamente così difficile per gli USA. Ci piace!
This song was finished on november 8th, 2016 with the intention of using it for my next record. i sampled an inspiration to me, detroit artist,Tyree Guyton, speaking at an event a couple months ago and used it in the intro because it spoke to me. On the morning of november 10th a light went off in my head and realized the song had to be let go.
No matter how i feel or what i’m thinking about the 2016 election.
No matter who i voted for or even if i voted at all…I’m thinking about what i’m made of right now.
I’m thinking about what we all are made of right now, what the world is made of right now.
I’m thinking about who i want to be and how i want to play my small part in this world right now.This song and message comes from a place of love.
