Kamaal Williams will release new album ‘Stings’ on September 27th.

The South London artist helped flip UK jazz on its head, with Yussef Kamaal”s ‘Black Focus’ proving to be a seminal moment in club culture and free music more generally. Since then, Kamaal Williams has released a string of records under his own name, alongside his club-focussed moniker Henry Wu.

New album ‘Stings’ was conceptualised during the pandemic, with the musicality rooted in long solo sessions at an upright piano. Sessions took place in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Chicago, with arrangements from Miguel Atwood-Ferguson.

Out on September 27th via his Black Focus imprint, ‘Stings’ boasts artwork from German graphic designer Sascha Lobe and Qompendium’s Kimberly Lloyd, who worked alongside Kamaal Williams on the album’s visual identity.
