{"product_id":"saul-williams-leap-life-2-lp-vinyl","title":"Saul Williams – Leap Life (2-LP Vinyl)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSaul Williams has always existed at the intersection of poetry, protest, and sonic experimentation, building a body of work since the late 1990s that refuses easy categorization. A decade between solo records only sharpens the anticipation here; Williams has spent those years acting, writing, and creating the Broadway musical \"Holler If Ya Hear Me,\" returning now with something clearly worth the wait.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLeap Life is Saul Williams' first solo album in over 10 years and marks a major return for one of the most influential voices in spoken word and experimental music. Named after Saul's leap year birthday, the project has been carefully sequenced by composer and producer Carlos Niño as a fully immersive, front-to-back listening experience. The album expands Saul's sound into electronic and ambient territories while remaining rooted in spoken word, with rich sound design built from nature recordings, environmental textures, and expansive instrumentation. It also sees Saul step further into the role of producer, drawing influence from Fela Kuti, Black church traditions, and South African electronic music.The record features a standout cast of collaborators including Kamasi Washington, Georgia Anne Muldrow, Moor Mother, Gonjasufi, and Surya Botofasina, alongside material developed with Robert Del Naja (Massive Attack). Released via Big Dada, the album marks a full-circle moment with the label where Saul originally launched his solo career.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Baobab Constellation\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Mazahua\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. I Think I Get It Now\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Great, Great-Grandmother\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. The Dagger\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Controlled Is Not Controllable\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. 13 Moons\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Une Photographie\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide C\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Not Everything For Sale\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Robot Slave\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Conspiracy\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Vengeful Spirit\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Friends I Ain’t Met Yet\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide D\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Coming Forth\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Leap Life\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5054429211894\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Big Dada Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.28.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- discogs-import --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"discogs-import\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Big Dada (BD323)  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eReleased:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2026  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Europe\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA1 Baobab Constellation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA2 Mazahua\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA3 I Think I Get It Now\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA4 Great, Great-Grandmother\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB1 The Dagger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB2 Controlled Is Not Controllable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB3 13 Moons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB4 Une Photographie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eC1 Not Everything For Sale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eC2 Robot Slave\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eC3 Conspiracy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eC4 Vengeful Spirit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eC5 Friends I Ain’t Met Yet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eD1 Coming Forth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eD2 Leap Life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCredits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNep Sidhu – Artwork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnisia Uzeyman – Performer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarlos Niño – Producer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"relix.shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54549627699518,"sku":"230590918","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/4609\/5166\/files\/12633508872510-transparent-v2.png?v=1791445515","url":"https:\/\/reserveselects.myshopify.com\/products\/saul-williams-leap-life-2-lp-vinyl","provider":"Reserve Selects","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
