The single is a collaboration with Ali Shaheed Muhammad and will be part of his new album.
There are songs that remain saved because it is not the right time to be released, and this is the case of “Constellation”the new single from Adrian Youngewhich has the participation of Ali Shaheed Muhammad. Both present a collaboration that remained archived for six years and is now finally coming to light.
The history of the single dates back to 2020, when Adrian Younge and Ali Shaheed Muhammad They were working on the second study material of the project The Midnight Hourwhose first album was released in 2018. However, the project took a different direction after the creation of the label Jazz Is Deadan initiative that completely absorbed their attention and caused these sessions to be saved and unfinished.
After that moment of pause, the pieces will finally arrive in 2026 through The Midnight Hour: Lost Tapes JID028an album that rescues unreleased sessions. The project will be published on October 23 through Jazz Is Dead and will mark the closing of the third series of the seal, converting “Constellation” in the first preview of the material.
He track presents an enveloping melody in which Younge and Muhammad They provide their distinctive touch. The song works as a bridge to an analogue atmosphere with jazz overtones, characteristic of both of their work, and recovers elements of soul and hip hop from the nineties to bring them to a current stage.
