Nine Beats Collective is a team of troubadours, poets, rebels, sages, provocateurs, theologians and activists spanning across multiple continents who have created an impressive concept album that features spoken word, R&B, soul, funk, gospel, acoustic driven rock/pop along with obvious influences from African and World music.
The album, Nine Beats To The Bar, is founded in the ancient Bible sayings known as ‘The Beatitudes’; a nine-statement manifesto spoken by Jesus which offers an outline for a new world order.
The below quote sums it up best,
A counter cultural narrative for our times. A welcome not a weapon, tender not toxic, inviting not divisive. A call for a tribe of people to live life ‘nine beats to the bar’. In them we hear the whispers of another world, the invitation to a path of recovery – whatever your story, whatever your struggle, wherever you find yourself.”
With top notch musicianship, pristine production, and enough soul to hit us deep at our cores, Nine Beats To The Bar features 26 tracks that seamlessly weave full length songs, with shorter spoken word and instrumental pieces but is guaranteed to have you listening for the full hour and fourteen seconds of the album’s duration.
Considering the wide array of musical styles present on this project, it’s safe to say that Nine Beats To The Bar appeals to an even wider array of music listeners.
