Klein fuses r’n’b, grime, and drone on new album, Harmattan

“A soundtrack of epic revolt against beginnings and ends.”

Multi-disciplinary South London artistKlein is releasing a new album, titled Harmattan, via PENTATONE this November.

Taking its name from the West African season, Harmattan sees Klein embarking on a sonic journey from her childhood to the present day.

Across its 11 tracks, she explores classical music through the lense of grime, drone, and r’n’b influences. The album also features a cameo from Charlotte Church.

“Harmattan is a soundtrack of epic revolt against beginnings and ends, drill trapped and re-released into release from communication into lush, unbounded share. An album extends through stops and starts some non – beginning….” shares poet Fred Moten.

Harmattan follows Klein’s third album, Frozen.
