Description

New album from producer, singer, avant-pop auteur and artist Tony Njoku. The album finds Tony at a creative apex, able to communicate and interpret the entire spectrum of human emotion through music, with each track embodying a different feeling or emotion being laid out as the pathway for a journey through playfulness, pain, elation, insanity, empathy, anger and acceptance.
Taking inspiration from a work of Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson; a 150 metre -long, circular glass walkway in Aarhus entitled 'Your rainbow panorama'. 'Your Psyche's Rainbow Panorama' transposes its impressive magnitude and ambition of the work into a visceral, living album that is crafted to be felt as much as heard. This is by far Tony's most diverse, expansive and wholistic work to date.
The motto for this album is "feelings are facts", derived from the title of another popular art piece by Olafur Eliasson. The purpose of the piece is to heighten your sense of disorientation whilst experiencing it, which triggers a more visceral/instinctive reaction rather than an intellectual response to the work. With YPRP I've tried to do the same, it's meant to be experiential rather than narrative." - Tony Njoku.
