Spirit of Naima
Spirit of Naima is the self-titled ten song album between Psalm Trees and ALEXANDER. This forty minute album strays from Chillhop's beat world and steps into modern jazz, full of organic instrumentation and live sounds. Press play and hear trumpets, saxophones, violins, sweeping vocals, pianos, electric guitars, and a guiding bass line. This album feels like stepping into a lounge bar, digging through crates at a record store, or daydreaming away while on a long walk. It's rainy day music. Early morning or late at night. It's jazzy, it's smooth, it cool. It's Chillhop's first full jazz offering and we hope you dig the laid-back vibes.
If you like what you hear, be sure to check out Psalm Tree's accompanying album, From Scratch, where he flips and reworks these jazz offerings, treating them as samples, and turning them into immersive instrumental beats.
