Early this morning, Tank and the Bangas released a new single that is already making waves. Titled “Remember,” this track features the soulful contributions of Grammy-winning pianist Robert Glasper and the stunning jazz vocals of rising star Samara Joy.
“Remember” is a soulful and introspective track that beautifully showcases the talents of all three artists involved. The song combines Glasper’s signature jazz-infused melodies with Joy’s velvety, emotionally rich vocals, creating a deeply reflective piece. Tank’s spoken word performance adds another layer of depth to the track, making it a poignant exploration of memory and personal growth.
This single is a continuation of a larger artistic journey that Tank and the Bangas have been on. Earlier this month, they released The Mind, the second installment of their ambitious three-part series titled The Heart, The Mind, and The Soul. Each part of this series explores different facets of Tank’s creative vision and personal experiences.
The Mind, which came out on August 1, is a deep dive into Tank’s thoughts and reflections as a woman navigating today’s world. Produced by Iman Omari, it follows the earlier release, The Heart, which explored themes of love, relationships, and self-discovery. The Heart was produced by James Poyser and featured a standout collaboration with Jill Scott.
Looking ahead, the final installment of the series, The Soul, is set to drop on October 11. This part promises to blend conscious and subconscious elements of Tank’s life, with Robert Glasper handling the production. The trilogy as a whole is shaping up to be a profound and cohesive exploration of Tank’s artistry and personal journey.
What sets “Remember” apart is the seamless collaboration between Tank, Glasper, and Joy. Robert Glasper, known for his work in jazz, hip-hop, and R&B, brings his exceptional musicality to the track. His ability to blend genres and push boundaries is a perfect match for Tank’s eclectic style.
Samara Joy, the 24-year-old jazz vocalist who has been garnering widespread acclaim, adds her own unique touch to the song. Her voice, reminiscent of jazz legends like Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan, pairs beautifully with Tank’s spoken word delivery. Together, they create a sonic experience that is both haunting and uplifting, inviting listeners to reflect on their own memories and experiences.
As we eagerly await the release of The Soul in October, “Remember” provides a tantalizing glimpse into what’s to come. With its rich production and compelling performances, the single sets the stage for what promises to be an emotionally resonant and artistically innovative conclusion to the trilogy. Tank and the Bangas have once again demonstrated their ability to push musical boundaries and create art that is both profound and accessible.
Experience “Remember” for yourself! Let yourself be carried away by the powerful blend of Tank’s spoken word, Glasper’s jazz piano, and Joy’s soulful vocals.
As we listen to “Remember,” we are reminded of the importance of collaboration, the beautiful music that is created when we blend different musical influences, and the power of holding onto the memories that shape us. “Remember,” is a single we won’t soon forget.
