Hook: Here’s the story of this of love OG love/ Humble beginnings we can all speak of/ Verse 1: Karma penetrated the armor, Dharma what’s the duty to the booty of the battle fought in part of/ fools riches our treasures more exquisite/fly capers my cape into burning buildings, whose in it? Two love struck horny children/ that was us on that bus rather cab to the pad/these episodes echoes in my past/ 9 5’s and coach bags/ no coach bus it’s front seats and first class/ I use to walk you down the hall to your first class, never knew a love supreme would still last/ cancer, moon is a sag rising is a Leo but a Gemini I am/ double conscious contemplate the math, if we ever divided would I still be who I am/ I don’t know? Hook: Here’s the story of this of love OG love/ Humble beginnings we can all speak of/ Verse 2: Knowledge, wisdom now understand, we grow from up from out the dirt, Let us touch that land/ it only grows higher fertilizer these strands, so germinate and pollinate and let that stand/ You gone let that stand?

about

“Beautifully Awkward" is FKAjazz’s second full-length album release, the first of which was in 2017 titled, “Stereotype Threat” which United Press International stated, “he fearlessly plays with precision and a passion that takes you on a musical journey like no other.” and dubbed FKAjazz as a “triple threat Musician/Producer/Writer.”

As explained by FKAjazz, “This album is a love story, my love story but also reflective of what everyone goes through in finding love for themselves. I began writing music for ‘Beautifully Awkward’ shortly after a breakup. It was my therapy, a great way to self-reflect & have high hopes for the future. I started online-dating for the first time which was outrageous (in a good way!) and very eye-opening. I think anyone that gains the courage to do it with the intention of not just hooking up, soon learns some interesting lessons about people and how you interact with different types of people It taught me a lot about myself in a very concentrated period of my life when I felt vulnerable & open to change and self-development. Moreso, I especially learned how incredibly awkward finding love can truly be. My conclusion in short, finding love is both beautiful & awkward. It’s beautifully awkward. And so are people in general. It’s really fascinating to look at it from this perspective. Putting that definition on love really brought me to a good place; more open & honest with myself and the people I connect with. Naturally it went right into the music I was creating. And hence, there was a story to tell.

FKAjazz is by far a formidable multi-instrumentalist, performing tenor, soprano & alto saxophone throughout the album, as well as keyboards, synthesizers and effects. But to some, his greater talents lay in his music production & ability to bring together a full cast of musicians & artists that all shine through his songwriting & vision. This album is drenched with a plethora of talented artists and musicians all stemming from a newly established collective called Trew Culture founded by FKAjazz together with drummer Justin Swiney & Hip Hop artist, BD3.

Beautifully Awkward is set to be released late October 2019 and will be coupled with the release of 8 animated music videos created by Peter Rhoe of Totally Animated Studios. These 2D animated videos are not only fun & creative, but give a glimpse into the stories behind the music and the many phases in which love may enter our lives. Beautifully Awkward is definitely one of those albums that will force you into a deep-dive eager to discover more about FKAjazz and all the featured artists throughout the album.
