don’t think they’ll ever recapture the magic of below the heavens but in anyways
Flowers is just as good imo

To me Flowers is like 50 times better
Considering what an underground classic Below the Heavens is, do you guys feel any pressure to live up to that hype?
Exile: You know what? When I was trying to sell Blu on what type of album we should make, I felt like we had a responsibility to follow in the footsteps of the greats before us to make sure that we follow our tradition of sound and update it sonically, but also lyrically, with where we’re at now. I don’t know if pressure was the right word, rather than finding the comfortability of our chemistry again. Once we found that, and it felt right, it just naturally happened for us to be able to, basically, pick up from where we left off at our best chemistry.
Blu, what about for you?
Blu: There’s definite pressure. I mean, that record isn’t Gold or Platinum or anything, but it definitely impacted my life. The release of that album and the response to the album has impacted my life. When I make most of my records, I try to compete with my own records, as well as other people’s records, to make the best album that I could possibly make during the time.
The releases are double disc CDs and triple disc vinyls, so kinda like a double album potentially, gonna be long

1 hr 35 min according to apple music
Really intrigued by the track titles and the length. Seems like a lot of thought went into this with the many forms of “blue” showing up in the tracklist and a couple miles references too, then ending with The End. This gonna be an epic

Crazy how Miles is still the coolest musician ever

Flowers is just as good imo
The highs are just as good but they could have scraped a few songs
Ease Your Mind tho

The color blue according to many Bible scholars represents Heaven. Blue is the color of the sky and a reminder of the heavenly realm. They’re gonna gonna give us a glimpse of Heaven
why he always putting on all these features from artists no one gives a damn about man
I like the duality in blue which Blu plays on a lot I don’t think many of these will be sad songs

He talked about it in the interview
I bring Aloe Blacc into everything that I do. I like to keep it a family type unit with the music, and I just always bring in people that I’ve worked with, and I’m working with currently. I’ve been working with Aloe since he was 16. I’ve always liked albums from artists that have features that were part of their family unit, more so than reaching out and giving big features.
