The voices on this album lead us to the realization: we share more in common with each other than modern media would like us to believe. It's solid science!\", says Nico. And like with every one of his albums album, the title track \"Soul \u0026amp; Science\" offers us a Hip Hop lyrical summary on the theme of the record. \"Artificial Intelligence is irrelevant to my artistry.\", Malik Work rhymes, \"I'm an outlier, true outsider, not the average.

Caribbean island hopping, we have the Carnaval inspired \"No Puedo Parar\" \u0026amp; \"Rumba Tobacco y Ron\" one of the last songs written by Puerto Rico's late great star Hector \"Tempo\" Alomar (vocalist on the legendary Nickodemus\/Quanrtic collaboration track \"Mi Swing es Tropical\") – once again Quantic is on board writing the horns parts with vocals sung by Cuba's own Haydee Soul, making it a one of a kind Puerto Rico meets Cuba collaboration.\n\nFrom Latin America to North \u0026amp; West Africa, from the dance-floors of Europe to the gritty homebase of New York City, \"Soul \u0026amp; Science\" is a celebration of the human spirit in all its multi-faceted glory as Nickodemus invites listeners to put down their phones, free their hands, be open to surprises and let loose on the dance-floor.
