SOUL,PRESENT

Q BARES HIS SOUL TO THE WORLD

Q's debut album Soul,PRESENT is a fusion of the nostalgic funk vibes of the 80s Prince mixed with the contemporary alternative R&B approach that has made the likes of Steve Lacy successful. What separates Q from his contemporaries is that similar to Prince, his music is an experience. Soul,PRESENT is not just an album. It's a call for self-exploration and a reflection on one's soul. 

The journey started with the release of a series of album trailers. These trailers were not mere announcements of an upcoming release; they gave audiences a peek into Q's creative process. They were fragments of a broader painting, bringing fans into the world of an artist who has spent time pondering his purpose. The trailers created anticipation and curiosity, serving as a launchpad for the album.

Complementing the album trailers were custom visualizers for each track. Each visualizer is part of a film that expands the story of Soul,PRESENT. We aimed to take fans into Q's world by giving them access to the album via exclusive listening sessions, footage of the creative process, and a glimpse into his life.

Q's inclusion in Spotify's RADAR program also played a pivotal role in the release of this project. As part of this initiative, Q received extensive support across Spotify's platform, amplifying his reach to new listeners and markets. It was a cosign of his talent and a nod to his potential as an upcoming artist.

The impact of "Soul,PRESENT" was most evident after its release. Q co-headlined a US tour with Baby Rose, offering audiences an immersive experience of their combined musical talents. The tour showcased Q's rising star power, leaving fans to look forward to more from him. As he ascends in his career, there is no doubt that he is well on his way to becoming a legend.
