These initial sessions had no specific direction but became the catalyst for what would become a prolific wave of Raw Poetic projects; five of which have been released since 2020.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt was these initial sessions and the demos they produced that convinced Shepp—who is also Raw Poetic’s uncle—to record what would eventually become 2020’s \u003ci\u003eOcean Bridges\u003c\/i\u003e, a collaborative album from Raw, Damu, and Shepp. The trio’s collaboration continues on \u003ci\u003eSpace Beyond The Solar System,\u003c\/i\u003e which boasts three tracks featuring the jazz legend, including today’s “A Mile In My Head,” a sprawling and thought-provoking album stand-out.At two hours, absorbing Space Beyond in its entirety may be overwhelming for most, especially in the present day, but Raw and Damu are very aware of this. With a total of over 40-plus years of experience between the vocalist and producer, the two of them went down memory lane taking every influence and experience in their personal histories to extract ingredients for a groundbreaking statement. \u003ci\u003eSpace Beyond The Solar System\u003c\/i\u003e is their most comprehensive environment to date.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe creation of Space Beyond sparked a conversation between Raw and Damu about their creative chemistry, with Raw likening their direction to a “space beyond the solar system.” His comment was a eureka moment for the two artists, giving their wandering efforts a sense of definition that was needed. “I think we’ve been exploring music beyond our limits for a few years,” says Raw Poetic. “It’s hard to tell where we’ll land, but we are constantly pushing our way out of the norm. Hence the title, ‘Space Beyond the Solar System.’ It’s just to say, this is new territory for us. Where the sky was once the limit, now it’s just the start.” \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Def Presse Editions","offers":[{"title":"LP | x3","offer_id":50507244470603,"sku":"2012135","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/1a2db0df-2bfb-0996-0d9e-d016dfa453ad_e8fc82d0_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727844010","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/space-beyond-the-solar-system","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
