The Midnight Hour
is Black excellence: an ode to the cultural sophistication that the Harlem Renaissance established for its people.
The Midnight Hour
is comprised of Ali Shaheed Muhammad and Adrian Younge, alongside a tight rhythm section and a full orchestra. The album has features from CeeLo Green, Raphael Saadiq, Masha Ambrosius, Bilal, Eryn Allen Kane, Karolina and more. Adrian and Ali began working on this album back in 2013, but put the project aside as they would score the hit Netflix series
Marvel's Luke Cage
(the two even perform in an episode of the upcoming second season).
The Midnight Hour
is a soul/jazz/hip hop album which continues the conversations started by yesterday's jazz and funk pioneers; those that created the bedrock of samples for hip hop producers in the 80s/90s.
The Midnight Hour
is sophisticated hip hop that fans will enjoy, capturing their jazz rhythm section, and a full orchestra, to analog tape. One of the seminal compositions, 'Questions' originally began as an unfinished Midnight Hour demo with Cee-Lo Green. However, Kendrick Lamar heard the track and wanted to sample portions for his GRAMMY-winning album
To Pimp a Butterfly
(the song ultimately made it to Kendrick's 2016 compilation
Untitled Unmastered
as 'Untitled 06 | 06.30.2014.'). The full, completed version of 'Questions' is now the lead single on
The Midnight Hour
. 'So Amazing' is a reimagining of Luther Vandross' 1986 single. Ali and Adrian took Luther's original vocal stems and composed new music, as if they were in the room with Luther originally. This transcendental recording is something that really makes
The Midnight Hour
special."
