Window Seat: EarthGang Explores the Future of R&B in 'Perfect Fantasy'
Olu and Dot from EARTHGANG join Sosefina to chat about their new album Perfect Fantasy and the future of R&B.
The album features collaborations with Snoop Dogg, Pharrell, T-Pain, Little Dragon, and more. Described as a "boss battle" against the algorithm, Perfect Fantasy breaks norms with its diverse sounds, blending elements of funk, soul, and electronic music while maintaining EARTHGANG's signature storytelling.
With lush, atmospheric beats and boundary-pushing production, the album moves fluidly between genres, incorporating futuristic synths, organic grooves, and a heavy dose of introspective lyricism. It’s a record that feels both timely and ahead of its time—one that’s equally capable of reaching new listeners and satisfying long-time fans with its intricate, genre-defying style.
This LP delves into emerging trends in R&B, breaking them down and reshaping them into something entirely fresh and forward-thinking.
Dot echoed, “I love when artists follow certain trends, and then I love when artists break all the trends altogether.”
