#cocoasugar

A few months ago I was introduced to Young Fathers and was amazed at their extremely eclectic sound and pushing of musical boundaries. Their most recent album Cocoa Sugar came out in March of this year and has been something I consistently come back to. Each song is complex and genre blending. The vocals are also beautiful and raw.  I just barely started looking at the various music videos that have come from the Cocoa Sugar. They are beautiful, powerful, and doing what Young Fathers seem to do best, push the envelope and be artists in every aspect. I hope you enjoy.

I’m stoked on the new Young Fathers record, “Cocoa Sugar”. This reminds of how stoked I was to shoot them at The Echo a few years back! @young_fathers @grimygoods @theechola #youngfathers #cocoasugar #grimygoods #theecho #livemusic #concertphotography #bandphotography #instacee #ceethreedom (at The Echo)

I’m taking a week off of making video reviews. Not because I need a break. Traveling and won’t have the time. But Young Fathers’s “Cocoa Sugar” is one of my favorite releases from this past week. For some reason, whenever I listen to “In My View” I think I’m listening to something from “Hamilton.” I actually hear a lot of “Hamilton” in this record. Anyway, this record is fantastic. #youngfathers #cocoasugar #newmusic #rap #soul #scotland #trio #music #hamilton #abd #abdmusic #abdreviews #youtube
