New Life, Who Dis 7 years after debut album šUniverses› on Ninja Tune, Seven Davis Jr. returns with the official follow up titled šI See The Future› on his own Secret Angels imprint. The 11 song adventure provides a fun concentrated blend of deep house, soul, disco, funk, electronica and underground textures. The album brings together Sev™s different flavors into a finely aged familiar yet new atmosphere. First two tracks šRecords› featuring L3ni (member of Natasha Diggs Soul In The Horn collective in New York) and šU Already Know› featuring bassist Neil White (half of Canadian Rock duo The Carps), were originally produced in London early 2016 at a studio provided to Jr. by Domino Publishing located in the basement of a run down home rumored to formerly belong to The Rolling Stones. Title track šI See The Future› was produced in Houston Texas early 2017 and features fellow Texan Oye Manny (Sure Shot, Secret Angels), who co-produced the track. šFigure It Out› featuring LA soulful house DJ Juliet Mendoza (Dusk Recordings), was recorded early 2021 post-lockdown. While šEscape The Matrix› was a demo produced around 2013 then reworked in 2020. šShare Your Toys› featuring Toribio (front man of NYC live band Conclave), šBoys & Girls› and šN™Joy› were all produced in Los Angeles late 2019 pre-covid. šMission Completed› was produced during 2020 in Seattle Washington, where Sev spent lockdown. šLet™s Travel...› the most recent of the recordings, was produced in Houston Texas over the summer of 2021 in a hotel room during a road trip. Closing track šNew Life, Who Dis› was produced in early 2019 and has a different origin. The moody instrumental was first made for a celebrity that Sev had been invited to ghost produce for. We cannot mention said celeb (because, NDA). After many sessions it became clear the celeb only wanted criminally watered down and copy cat ideas. So Sev respectfully declined the invitation and decided to save this track for something special. All vocals were recorded between 2020 and 2021 after Sev recovered from Covid, gratefully with no long term damage. A situation that caused him to retrain his vocals and breathing skills. An experience that he considers to have had a rejuvenating effect on his life. šThe album™s called *I See The Future* because it™s mostly a collection of songs I™d been keeping in my vault for whatever reason. Instrumentals I™d been really sitting on, letting cook longer than usual. Songs that needed more time, in this case years, to form. Usually it hasn™t taken too long to get ideas out but for this project I wanted different results. Plus so much happened in the world it™s made me become a different person/artist. So my process is different. All in all it™s fun uplifting vibes about enjoying life and moving on to better, hope people pick up on that. › - Sev
