PAELLA! (Colored LP)

Preorders Ship in Early October Street Date: October 9th PRESSED ON OX BLOOD COLORED VINYL WITH BOOKLET INSERT Stoic has produced songs for Doechii, Mick Jenkins, JID, MAVI, Pro Era & Lexa Gates PAELLA! is a collection of tracks centered around themes of collaboration and connection — a project born from the rich diversity of each collaborator’s unique stories and experiences. Inspired by the iconic dish his mother would make, Stoic builds the album around the idea of paella as a dish created from whatever is on hand, transforming simple household ingredients into something new and unique every time. The dish, deeply personal to Stoic, serves as a fitting metaphor for a body of work that celebrates the power of collaboration and highlights the artistry of longtime friends and collaborators, while remaining true to the producer’s signature sound and vision. The album’s concept is evident from the opening track ‘PEGAO’, is echoed by Stoic’s mother on ‘THE RECIPE’, and bleeds through the fusion of a wide range of genres, sounds, and voices that come together to create something much larger than life. As the head chef, Stoic has truly extracted the best from each ingredient and crafted a vibrant, cohesive album that leaves you craving seconds and reaching for the dessert menu. PAELLA! marks the debut solo album from the Grammy-winning producer, as he opens this new chapter with old friends and collaborators, established artists and rising stars. So grab a seat at the table, turn the volume up, and help yourself to a heaping plate of homemade paella, made with love. Tracklist: 1 PEGAO (ft. Blvck Svm & Max He) 2 UP & AWAY! (ft.
