Fresh off the announcement of their upcoming autumn tour, Utrecht-based collective .multibeat is back with a brand new track!
‘Monochrome’ is the third single taken from their highly anticipated debut album on Sonar Kollektiv, titled OOO, dropping this autumn. Inspired by icons like Robert Glasper and J Dilla, the core trio of Boudewijn Pleij, Thijs van Zutphen, and Aron Smit continue to push boundaries by blending hip-hop and jazz with captivating local collaborations.
This track is a sultry, soulful crossover piece born from an intense, in-person studio collaboration. Lyrically and conceptually, ‘Monochrome’ stands as a powerful artistic statement against political polarization and an increasingly black-and-white worldview.
As the band beautifully reflects: “If we look at the state of the world, of humanity over the last seventy-five years, we look at it as television… we have shifted back to black and white.”
Make sure to stream it tomorrow and add this masterpiece to your favorite late-night playlists!
