Description
Kindness: Something Like A War (Indie Exclusive Colored Vinyl) Vinyl 2LP
Something Like A War is the third full-length from English-born singer-songwriter Adam Bainbridge, better known as Kindness. Bainbridge’s reflexive sound is fiercely political but easy on the ears, stretching out into extended funky passages without a single jarring transition. To achieve this sound they’ve collaborated with an stellar cast of artists from around the globe, including Seinabo Sey, Nadia Nair and Robyn (!) from Sweden, London’s Cosima and Sampha, South African artist Samhing Soweto, Jazmine Sullivan and Bahamadia from Philly and more. This well-traveled sound is baked into the DNA of Something Like A War, and that “it takes a village” spirit recalls some of Prince’s more ambitious projects like Sign O The Times or Around The World In A Day as well as modern long players by Solange and Blood Orange, with whom Bainbridge has worked extensively. Check out “Softness As A Weapon,” “Who You Give Your Heart To,” “The Warning” and “Cry Everything.” Indie exclusive opaque pink colored 2LP edition, cut nice and loud at 45RPM, released on Bainbridge’s own Female Energy imprint. Housed in full color gatefold jacket with printed inner sleeves containing full album credits and lyrics, digital download included.
