Clark D & Guyclaude Join Forces For New Album 'A FAMILY AFFAIR'
Clark D and Guyclaude are two artists bubbling in the accelerating Boston music scene. Clark D offers eccentric hip-hop, while Guyclaude touches R&B and alternative sounds. The duo recently got together for a single titled "Grateful," a soulful intertwinement of their backgrounds, which initiated the excitement for more. Now coming together for a complete project that adds to Boston's diverse musicality, Clark D and Guycluade release their collaborative project, A FAMILY AFFAIR.
Proposing lively blends of soul, rap, and jazz, A FAMILY AFFAIR displays mutual connections between the two artists' sounds. The intro, "A Family Affair/Quarantine," wastes no time digging into the jazz-tinged hip-hop sound, where Clark D teams with Echezona and Michael Christmas for a song inspired by staying inside and social distancing. Track two, "CAROUSEL," is a catchy anthem dedicated to cash making the world go round. Track four, "Automatic," serves throwback influences, with a mix of ear-catching harmonies and fun lyricism over chopped pianos. "Here We Are" is Guyclaude's soulful duet with Miranda Rae, shining a light on both singers' vocals in an organic ambiance. Track nine, "We'll Figure It Out Tomorrow," brings out the best of both artists, where Clark D's flow complements Guyclaude's dynamic vocals for another standout song.
A FAMILY AFFAIR shines a bright light on both artists' abilities, and every song brings something fresh to build on the sound they've developed. Clark D and Guyclaude hold much talent as solo acts, but it seems they have found a special creative bond that not all artists can obtain. Stream the new project from the rising Boston natives below.
