THE WAIT IS OVER.After show-stealingcollabs with , , and (check Ye's 2016 non-album cut "Saint Pablo"), finally delivers his debut solo long-playerfor . Co-produced by ' in-house producer, known for his extensive work with , and (fans of any and all of the above, this is for you), Process is a disarmingly unique take on soul and electronic music including, but not limited to:piano ballads, LinnDrum, trap, frenetic percussion suddenly giving way to moody atmosphere reminiscent of the more introspective moments in between album cuts. goes it alone on all tentracks, entirely devoid of features with the exception of a mysterious writing credit on "Timmy's Prayer". We've been waiting for "Under" to be cut to wax since we first heard it open his 2014 Boiler Room set. You'd be hard pressed to find anythingmore soulful than "Incomplete Kisses", or more earnest than "What Shouldn't I Be" all year. While mainstream R&B has become virtually indistinguishable from hip-hop (and don't get me started on ""), Processdemonstrates an important third path for modern soul music that the nextgeneration of songwriters and producers should pay close attention to.
