Searching Skies - J Lamotta & Budamunk (Vinyl) (AE)

This is a vinyl LP pressing of Searching Skies by J Lamotta & Budamunk. After the success of her recent releases, J. Lamotta (165K monthly listeners on Spotify and more than 10M cumulative streams) is clearly becoming an international name. She keeps this prolific momentum alive with "Searching Skies", the collaborative album with Tokyo-based producer-mastermind BudaMunk, marking Lamotta's fourth, and BudaMunk's first, album to be released with Jakarta Records. The Longplayer perfectly merges J. Lamotta's iconic R&B, jazzy-Neo-Soul aesthetics with BudaMunks laid-back, impeccably-imperfect lo-fi hip-hop productions. It's a well-timed collaboration, as J. Lamotta sees her loyal fanbase growing in Japan, and will be a worthy follow up to her previous Jakarta releases while Tokyo-based heavyweight BudaMunk (40K monthly listeners on Spotify and more than 1. 7M cumulative streams) has received cosigns from a number of artists within the hip-hop arena, including Mndsgn, Eloquent, Pink Siifu, Suff Daddy, Kiefer, Swarvy and Lefto, among a host of others. His output is prolific and consistent, including releases on Jazzy Sport and Dogear Records, as well as LA-juggernaut Fat Beats' "Baker's Dozen" series; and his notoriety within the Japanese beat scene is only growing. As Bandcamp's Max Bell writes of BudaMunk, "it takes years to perfect being this relaxed and this precise".
