While we all wait for an ever-elusive new project from Jay Electronica, the reclusive rapper has drip-fed us with occasional (but phenomenal) guest verses—and today we're blessed with another one. This time around, he joins Scottish singer Emile Sandé as she gears up to release Long Live The Angels, the follow-up to her UK chart-topping 2011 debut album Our Version of Events. To kick things off, she's recruited Electronica and newcomer Áine Zion for "Garden."
“‘Garden’ is one of my favorite songs from the album,” Sandé says. “It is an expression of freedom and passion, two important parts of life, which I hadn't really explored until a few years ago. It was a great honor to work with the genius Jay Electronica and I'm very excited to introduce a very special talent, Áine Zion.”
Over minimal percussive production, the unique vocal styles of both Electronica and Sandé are given plenty of room to breathe—making for a dramatic listen. Catch a stream of the song above and look out for the full album on November 11.
