Theo Croker - Star People Nation (2019) [Official Digital Download 24/88]

Brand new studio album featuring ELEW, Eric Harland, Kassa Overall and Jamaican singer Chronixx. Trumpeter, producer, arranger, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Theo Croker's Star People Nation finds him at the helm of production, songwriting, and performance, resulting in an intimate exploration of“the everyday rituals of blackness. A translation of Theo Croker's personal, spiritual and creative experience, Star People Nation is a self-reflective collection of provocative, powerfully passionate and boundary-busting compositions that speak to our greater, shared human existence. In the end, he creates a haven for creativity, spirituality, seduction and enlightenment throughout the album. “This is really supposed to inspire others to embrace themselves, their experiences and their community,” says Croker. “As world citizens, we can all be a part of Star People Nation.”
