Kamasi Washington has confirmed that his new album, Fearless Movement, will be released on May 3 via Young. He calls it his dance album, explaining that dance is about movement and expression, just like music is about expressing one's spirit through the body. This album marks a shift for Washington, focusing on the everyday and life on earth, a change largely influenced by the birth of his first child a few years ago. Washington says being a father made his mortality and immortality more apparent to him, which affected his music. The album features his daughter, who wrote the melody for 'Asha The First' during her early piano experiments, along with a host of new and old collaborators. André 3000 plays the flute, George Clinton lends his voice, and there are contributions from BJ The Chicago Kid, Inglewood rapper D - Smoke, and Taj and Ras Austin of Coast Contra. Washington also enlisted lifelong friends and collaborators like Thundercat, Terrace Martin, and more. The album includes 'The Garden Path', which Washington first performed on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon'. Kamasi Washington is a well - known multi - instrumentalist, composer, and bandleader from Los Angeles.
