Introducing 4 Dreams by R&B outsider Zsela @zsela_ with Inc. No World’s Daniel Aged @daniel.aged (Frank Ocean, Kelela, RosalĆ­a) 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, 4Ā Dreams is aĀ record that’s entrenched in jazz, soul and classical minimalism rather than throwaway numbing music, of the contemporary variety. The cover art is aĀ detail of aĀ painting by American-Haitian visual artist Naudline Pierre @cluvie . Originally commissioned for the exhibition Seven Heavenly Senses at HĆ“tel 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, HĆ“tel de la Marine
