Adrian Younge preps new album & orchestral tour, shares “A Música Na Minha Fantasia”
“SAA III is the album that has taken me fifteen years to uncover and fully realize,” Young says. It’s out April 18.
Producer, composer and Jazz is Dead co-founder Adrian Younge has announced Something About April III, the final album in his Brazilian-influenced psychedelic soul trilogy. It will be out April 18 via Linear Labs and he made it with a 30-piece orchestra. “Something About April III is the album I wanted to make when I created the first album in 2011,” Younge says. “However, I didn’t have the musical knowhow and experience to create the sound that was buried deep in my soul. Essentially, SAA III is the album that has taken me fifteen years to uncover and fully realize. From a cratediggers’ perspective, it’s the album I’ve been diggin’ for in the deepest crates of my soul. A lost album I finally found. I hope this LP resonates with you as much as it has for me.”
The first single is “A Música Na Minha Fantasia,” the album’s opening track. Younge says, “‘A Música Na Minha Fantasia’ is one of the first songs I created for SAA III because I needed to start the album with vigor and purpose. It’s a song I love so much because it’s the first time I really heard my psychedelic Adrian Younge sound come to life with authentic Brazilian vocals in Portuguese. Particularly, I like to create the kind of sound that hip hop producers and record collectors scour the world for when looking for that perfect sample. This song is the first time I’m bringing the Adrian Younge version of that sound to Brazil.”

Younge will take Something About April III on the road with a 10-piece mini-orchestra starting March 1 in Atlanta and running though April 5 in San Diego. The NYC stop is at The Sultan Room on March 4 and all dates are listed below.
