French producer Wax Tailor has teamed up with Ghostface Killah for the new single, “Worldwide," from his fifth studio album, By Any Beats Necessary. The animated video finds the Wu Tang Clan emcee navigating the track like the seasoned vet he is over a laid back, soulful beat.
“Without going too deep into poilitics, the album’s title reflects my determination to use all kinds of sounds and textures to get to something musical,” says JC Le Saout, the man behind Wax Tailor. “The word ‘Beat’ also draws a line towards the Beat Generation, Kerouac’s famous novel On The Road, and the quest for a better place. And so, in this time when each of us needs a little escape, I conceptualized this album as the soundtrack to a better elsewhere that I imagined to be the south western part of the USA”.
According to a press release, this new take on the western frontier leads listeners down a fabled road where blues, psychedelic rock, soul, funk and hip-hop collide. Joining him on this ride are guests such as Ghostface Killah from the Wu Tang Clan, R.A. The Rugged Man, who crosses mics with up and comers A-F-R-O & Token, in a showdown for the ages. The album also features Tricky in a very personal duet with Charlotte Savary, Lee Fields, the godfather of the retro soul scene, Sara Genn, Mattic and Raashan Ahmad and newcomer Idil. By Any Means Necessary is set for release on October 14, 2016.
