Bringing the extraordinary
Athawise's debut album Elite Asylum, released in 2017, spawned numerous hits and he is finally ready to release his new offering called Elite Asylum 2.0 (EA2.0) tomorrow.
Athawise describes EA2.0 as an extended play (EP) record that sounds like an album.
He added that the music still sounds out of this world, stressing that it is nothing like you have heard before.
“I got to work with different producers on this project, unlike the previous one,” he said.
He mentioned that he spent the last two years trying to put together his 2020 album titled Sensei, but felt like 2020 was too far and his fans needed music from him.
Most of his fans discovered Athawise through him being featured on tracks.
“So they went to look me up and see what I am about. Numbers keep going up, meaning we never disappoint.
“EA2.0 is just a little taste of what is to come. On this EP, I believe I will achieve what I have I have always wanted for a long time, and that is making all my fans proud at the same time,” said Athawise.
He initially wanted to have 10 songs on the EP but disclosed he was advised to just keep it to between three and seven songs, since it's an EP.
On the sound direction, the BlvcBoxx Entertainment signee said every genre has a beat that makes his soul bleed, while sharing that “extraordinary” is his permanent sound direction.
“If you remember my last project, you would know that my sound is pretty rare. You will never guess where the inspiration comes from,” he said.
Dubbed the collaboration king, Athawise values working with other artists and treats songs he is featured on as though they are his own. He said he applies the same dedication, ethics and respect he would on his own songs. “I am a professional and art comes naturally. Whether the song becomes a hit or not, be certain that on my part it was worked on just as hard,” he said.
Athawise will host this EP drop party tomorrow at Chicago's in Windhoek. Places to purchase the EA2.0 will be announced via his social media platforms no later than this Monday.
