Kamasi Washington – Dream State (feat. André 3000)

Kamasi Washington, jazz’s modern-day colossus, and André 3000, the ever-enigmatic hip-hop maestro, join forces on “Dream State,” offering a sonic exploration that feels like floating through the cosmos on a cloud of possibilities. Part of Washington’s ambitiously titled album “Fearless Movement,” this track exemplifies the project’s ethos of pushing boundaries and exploring the uncharted territories of music. The collaboration, which also includes talents like Thundercat and George Clinton, stands out as a testament to Washington’s vision of a musical landscape where genres meld and merge in the pursuit of new auditory experiences. “Dream State” itself is a product of spontaneous creation, with Washington and André 3000, alongside Brandon Coleman, Tony Austin, and Mono/Poly, diving into an improvisational journey that captures the joy of musical discovery. In a world where tracks are often overproduced, “Dream State” emerges as a refreshing ode to the magic of in-the-moment creation, inviting listeners to join in on this unpredictable yet exhilarating ride through jazz and beyond.
