Hudson Mohawke has shared the first single "Very Last Breath" featuring French vocalist Irfane from his sophomore artist album Lantern. The LP, which will be released in June, is set to feature the likes of Miguel and Jhené Aiko. The Kanye West, Drake and Rick Ross collaborator is set to release his first LP in six years June 16 with Lantern after announcing it two weeks ago with a terrifying trailer. HudMo shows a new dimension with "Very Last Breath," giving his deftly crafted instrumental a more melodic twist instead of the minimal or hard sounds he has been putting together recently with a big, booming, off-beat bass line, pitched synthesizers and spacey arps. The track is topped off with vocals from Irfane, who was behind Breakbot's classic "Baby I'm Yours."
Listen to the track below on HudMo's SoundCloud. Purchas the song and pre-order the album on his website. Check out the tracklist below.
HudMo -- real name Ross Brichard -- spoke about the direction of the album and what it took to make the LP over the past few years.
"This album is everything I've been working towards. I wanted to make a classic -- at least for me and my friends," said Brichard via Warp Records. "I never wanted to be any genre. I wanted to be my own thing. Everything."
In a recent interview with Benji B on BBC Radio One, HudMo previewed some new music from the album and talked about what fans should expect from it.
"There has been a lot more people involved in the process then just me in my bedroom at my mom's house. Unlike songs like 'Chimes,' the album will be less club-focused," explained Mohawke.
