Souleye is an acclaimed rapper who is bringing out his twelfth studio album. Disguised as Tomorrow came out on March 3. This release has been making waves in the music scene thanks to the quality of the tracks and the unique style this rapper brings to each of his songs.
Souleye’s new album centers on the track Emergency, which features a collaboration with Alanis Morisette, the seven times Grammy winner, who is also Souleye’s spouse of many years. Emergency is just one of the hits on the album that features several ambitious, dynamic, and effective tracks, but Emergency also received a remix from renowned produced ill.GATEs.
Disguised As Tomorrow is a showcase of the artist’s amazing ability and growing skill through years of making music.
Disguised as Tomorrow is produced by Bil Bless, a long-time collaborator of Souleye, and it features contributions from talented artists like Alanis herself, but also South African rocker Esjay Jones, rappers Big Samir and Main Flow, and the singer and activist Lila Rose, all big names in music.
Disguised As Tomorrow features an extensive exploration of different themes, in particular, ideas around uncertainty and chaos that became especially relevant as the world struggled with the COVID-19 pandemic. The album centers on how we might expect one thing but receive another, but also how that opens up opportunities for growth that we did not imagine; however, opportunities for growth that are beautiful, unexpected, and wonderful. What we encounter in the future is not always what we expect, so our future comes in disguised as the tomorrow we expect. The central theme of the album is the beauty in chaos and in the unexpected.
Souleye uses this album to dive deeper into interesting topics, which marks a departure from the lighter sound he treated his listeners to with the past release, hunting teardrops, which featured tracks like Ghost Steps and Incredible Hulk. But Disguised as Tomorrow not only explores more complex topics, it also offers a more complex soundscape with darker melodies.
The album offers 13 new tracks, including Emergency (with Alanis Morrisette), Letter to the Old Me (feat. Big Samir and Main Flow), Protected (feat. Esjay Jones), and The Unheard (feat. Lila Rose), plus all the tracks that center Souleye’s own distinctive talent. Adding to the critical mass of creative power, the cover comes from the amazing designer Lindsay Kokoska.
Disguised as Tomorrow is an excellent offering that shows the talent of Souleye, a creator who has been working the music scene for over two decades. He remained a popular indie artist and a rapper, not afraid to touch topics like spirituality, health, and chaos in his work. His delivery style and lyrics are unique thanks to the fast delivery, the rich content and metaphors, and the distinctive poetic style that showcases the thousands of songs he has written.
