Shabaka Hutchings Unveils New EP, ‘Possession’

The new release sees the multi-instrumentalist collaborate with billy woods, ELUCID, Esperanza Spalding and more

Shabaka Hutchings has a new EP on the way.

Spanning five tracks, Possession sees the UK multi-instrumentalist collaborate with the likes of billy woods, ELUCID, Esperanza Spalding, Carlos Niño and a surprise special guest, whose identity will be revealed upon the full release of the record.

To mark the EP’s announcement, Hutchings has shared the billy woods-featuring lead track ‘Timepieces’. The track, which you can listen to below, samples ‘End Of Innocence’ from recent album Perceive Its Beauty, Acknowledge Its Grace.

“My original plan for my album Perceive Its Beauty, Acknowledge Its Grace was to present the acoustic music as recorded in the Van Gelder and London studios, but also dissect and sample the material to produce an accompanying beats segment to the album,” Hutchings said in a statement. “‘Timepieces” is one of the results of this intention.”

Impulse! will release Possession on December 6, 2024.
