Introducing 4 Dreams by R&B outsider Zsela @zsela_ with Inc. No World’s Daniel Aged @daniel.aged (Frank Ocean, Kelela, Rosalía) and film composer Taul Katz @__tool__ . Cover art by Naudline Pierre @cluvie . Out on May 8. 4 Dreams unfolds across four tracks, each shaped by enveloping harmonies of cinematic strings, FM synth textures, humid bass drones, and Zsela’s soulful vocals. While the project marks a departure from her debut Big For You (Mexican Summer, 2024), traces of soul, jazz, and R&B remain deeply embedded. Her humming, jazz-inflected vocal lines—rich with subtle key changes—continue to draw the listener inward.
 This shift toward ambient and instrumental work extends ideas first explored in her collaborations with Actress on 'Angel’s Pharmacy'. 4 Dreams shares an atmospheric, neo-classical sensibility while also echoing the legacy of spiritual jazz pioneers such as Alice Coltrane and Dorothy Ashby. At its heart, 4 Dreams is a record that’s entrenched in jazz, soul and classical minimalism rather than throwaway numbing music, of the contemporary variety. The cover art is a detail of a painting by American-Haitian visual artist Naudline Pierre @cluvie . Originally commissioned for the exhibition Seven Heavenly Senses at Hôtel de la Marine in Paris and curated by Olivier Berggruen. Listen to single + preorder via link in bio. Release Date — May 08, 2026 Composers — Zsela, Daniel Aged, Taul Katz Format — Vinyl, Digital, Streaming Mastering — Rashad Becker @rashad__becker Cover Art — Naudline Pierre @cluvie @jamescohangallery Creative Direction — Souleymane Said @souleymanesaid_ Concept — Olivier Berggruen @olivierberggruen & Monteverde Productions @monteverde_productions Design — Studio Hugot Blanzat @studiohugoblanzat Distribution — !K7 Music Special Thanks — Olivier Berggruen, Manon Lutanie, Rayna Holmes, Naudline Pierre, The Al Thani Collection, Hôtel de la Marine

Out today: 4 Dreams by Zsela with Daniel Aged and Taul Katz. Cover art by Naudline Pierre. R&B outsider @zsela_ joins forces with @daniel.aged (Frank Ocean, Kelela) and film composer @__tool__ on a billowing ambient-neoclassical hallucination originally commissioned for the exhibition Seven Heavenly Senses at Hôtel de la Marine, Paris. 4 Dreams consists of four tracks that each unfold as embracive harmonies of cinematic strings, FM synths, muggy bass drones, and Zsela’s soulful vocals. Even though 4 Dreams moves in a different direction than the debut Big For You (Mexican Summer, 2024), the inspiration of soul, jazz and R&B still shines through on the album, as Zsela’s humming vocals, with its jazz-inspired key changes, keep you intrigued. For this release, alongside critically acclaimed producer Daniel Aged and composer Taul Katz, Zsela steps confidently into the field of instrumental composition. This exploration of instrumental and ambient composition can be seen as a continuation of themes previously explored in her collaborations with UK-based artist Actress on the songs ‘Angel’s Pharmacy’ and ‘Remembrance’ from the album Karma & Desire (Ninja Tune, 2020). 4 Dreams bears the same atmospheric neo-classical attributes as recent releases by Nala Sinephro, Malibu, Mary Lattimore, and even draws on the legacy of spiritual jazz legends such as Alice Coltrane and Dorothy Ashby. The cover art is a detail of a painting by American visual artist Naudline Pierre, whose practice revolves around appropriating iconography from art history to create her own mythology and dreamlike narratives.

As co-founder of inc. no world, Daniel Aged @daniel.aged has re-imagined both r&b and contemporary Americana as highly evocative, intimate, and expansive modes of songcraft. A devotee of the role and spirit of the bass, Aged has subtly wound his lyricism through the sound of modern pop, collaborating with artists like Kelela, Raphael Saadiq, Frank Ocean, FKA Twigs, and most recently Zsela @zsela_ . '4 Dreams' by Zsela, Daniel Aged & Taul Katz releases on 8 May via Latency.

《About goat》 goat is an Osaka-based five-piece rhythm ensemble led by composer and musician Koshiro Hino.Treating instruments such as guitar, saxophone, and bass as if they were percussion, the group constructs finely calibrated polyrhythms using the very act of sound production itself, including noise and muted tones, as compositional material. Each member functions like a human drum machine or sequencer, and the trance and exhaustion generated through obsessive repetition, together with harmonics that fall outside the twelve-tone scale, exert a physical and psychological impact on the listener. Widely acclaimed across Europe, goat has performed at Rewire 2024 in The Hague and Festival Variations in Nantes, where they also shared a bill with SUNN O))). Last year, they also appeared as a guest act at the Osaka date of Ryoji Ikeda’s Japan tour, continuing to earn strong recognition both in Japan and internationally. Their 2025 release “Without References / Cindy Van Acker” was commissioned by Swiss dancer and choreographer Cindy Van Acker. The work was composed in response to a dance piece by Van Acker that emerged in the wake of the death of Mika Vainio, her longtime collaborator, and further highlights the physicality embedded in goat’s performance.
