HAAi announces debut album 'Baby, We’re Ascending,' releases new single “Bodies Of Water”
Electronic producer HAAi has announced their highly anticipated debut album today.
Baby, We’re Ascending will see a May 27 release via Mute. The 13-track album features collaborations with Jon Hopkins, Alexis Taylor, Moxie, Obi Franky, and Kai-Isaiah Jamal. When it comes to working on the record, HAAI chose a slew of female and non-binary talent to aid them, including designer Raissa Pardini, mixing engineer Marta Salogni (Björk, Romy), engineer/producer Francine Perry, string arranger Quinta, and creative director and long-time collaborator Imogene Barron.
The first single from the record titled “Bodies Of Water” can be heard below. HAAi said this about the forthcoming album:
“Getting this album out of my head and computer is quite the cathartic experience.
Baby, We’re Ascending is a hyperactive journey, that feels like a real reflection of who I am.
I’m so proud of every second of it.
Of all the experimentation as well as the collaborators.
It was made with great love and care.
I hope you enjoy.”
