The newest movement from The Black Opera is truth. After the telling of the three part epic, The Black Op: Era I , TBO has returned without allegory or allusion. The Great Year is a modern story of emergence and art- a resistance to assimilation. It is a story of triumph and camaraderie and a renaissance of new thinking. The new album’s influences musically are as diverse as they are aesthetically. From tribal rhythms to overdriven synths and from pulsing drums to intimate vocals, The Great Year ’s sound is distinctly its own. Taking on a modern day palette, TBO has envisioned a new world, musically. With orchestration from creative minds like Tall Black Guy , 14KT , Waajeed , yU and Arjun Singh . ***Thanks to Mello Music Group for sending*** Tracklist 1.
