Altadena’s okay coleman! has released “Let Me Go,” his latest single via Art Club, the label behind landmark releases from Jhené Aiko and Anderson .Paak. Produced by Angelo LeRoi, Micha Cooper and okay coleman! himself, the track lands as the 8th floor of ‘001,’ his forthcoming 11-track EP built around an elevator concept where each song represents a different emotional level of love, attachment and release. Listen here.
Sonically, “Let Me Go” sits deep in a soulful R&B pocket, navigating the emotional gray area of a connection that keeps pulling him back despite the cost to his peace. Coleman wanted it that way from the start. “I wanted to lean into that soulful R&B pocket that fans gravitate toward, like ‘Agave.’ As soon as we recorded it, it just felt right. I knew it needed to be on the project.”
The single follows “Did U Even Notice,” his April release that earned a spot in The FADER’s Songs You Need In Your Life This Week. Both tracks are featured on ‘001,’ which marks okay coleman!’s first full-length release and his most fully realized statement yet, traversing Soul, R&B and Hip-Hop across a project produced entirely with childhood friend Angelo LeRoi.
“Let Me Go” is out now via Art Club. ‘001’ is coming.
