The A side, Murkit Gem, taken from the upcoming album, Yeti Season, is another pairing of El Michels Affair's unpredictable brand of soul and the lilting vocals of Piya Malik. From the crack of the first snare this one sinks it's teeth in you. The backing music simultaneously has the swag of the darker side of Wu Tang as well as the light hearted bounce of a cartoon theme song. Piya Malik's vocals dance all over the tune, cementing Murkit Gem as an unlikely but undeniable \"get to the dancefloor now\" record. The B side Cham Cham is a non album cut exclusive to this 45. Again EMA invites Piya Malik to the microphone and she shares her styled storytelling vocals. It is the vocal version of Perfect Harmony, which appears on Yeti season sans vocals.

His signature sound has caught the attention of the mainstream while continuing to inspire the underground. Since 2023's El Michels Affair \u0026amp; Black Thought album Glorious Game, Michels has been busy producing records for other artists; Norah Jones' Grammy winning Visions, Clairo's Grammy nominated Charm, Kali Uchis' \"Moonlight\", as well as albums for labelmates Brainstory, Derya Yildirim \u0026amp; Grup Simsek, Thee Heart Tones, and Liam Bailey. His new album 24 Hr Sports marks the highly anticipated return to recording under his own moniker, El Michels Affair. 24 Hr Sports was inspired by the fashion and graphic design of '80s \u0026amp; '90s Sports Illustrated magazines, MF DOOM's Special Herbs albums, the sample sources used on them, and gospel music a la Pastor T. L. Barrett. The sum of those influences with Michels' impeccable creative touch prove to be the recipe for an instant classic that will surely be one of the most heralded releases of 2025. The album opener \"Drum Line\" is an anthemic, uplifting tune with marching band drumming and thundering brass arrangements that command undivided attention and set the tone for what's to come. 24 Hr Sports sees a significant departure from the largely instrumental music of the El Michels Affair catalog with a roster of vocal features that manages to mirror the undefinable genre of his music. The first one on the album is \"Mágica\" which features Brazil's Rogê. He takes the already pumping energy of the track over the top with his fútbol inspired lyrics. Moving from Brazil to Ghana, \"Say Goodbye\" features Florence Adooni who touts her individuality with an effortless swag jumping between Frafra and English, telling it like it is in the earworm chorus, \"never gonna find a girl like me... \". Labelmate and world renowned trumpeter from The Roots, Dave Guy joins the '70s groove of \"Oakley's Car Wash\" with his distinct horn lines before the track switches lanes, closing with a dubby outro. From raucous to serene, \"Anticipate\" featuring Clairo picks up on the musical synergy between her and Leon that created 2024's Charm album. Clairo rides signature EMA arrangements perfectly as she pines for an unattainable love over the band's airtight instrumentation. \"Eastside\" is a song that could soundtrack a sunrise over the ocean, putting Leon's tasteful use of space and arrangement on a pedestal. By way of Japan, The Suginami Children's Choir join in on the lush \"Clean The Line\" singing a song about the moon, the sun, and birds. Next, \"Cortex\" kicks in the door with gritty distorted guitars and thundering drums that puts a moment of pure cinematic intensity in the middle of the album. Leon himself handles lead vocals on \"Shining,\" a song about looking for a friend to share the joys of a sunny day with. The universally adored Shintaro Sakamoto is featured on \"Indifference\", a swanky tune built on bouncing basslines and flute chops. Shintaro uses the arrangements to go from singing to speaking, musing over a fleeting love. The Grammy winning duo of Norah Jones and Michels reunite on \"Carry Me Away\" with Jones' honeyed vocals soaring over a track that is hard to place but easy to love. Leon leans into El Michels Affair territory on the tune that sounds decidedly different from the Norah Jones records he has produced. \"Take My Hand\" puts gospel influence front and center with the Fabulous Rainbow Singers choir on the chorus and a saxophone solo from the late great Rahsaan Roland Kirk. \"Open Season\", a mid tempo, piano driven number with group vocals chanting \"we want the gold, we want the gold... \" could soundtrack a slow motion highlight reel, while the aptly titled album closer \"Victory Lap\" is a dreamy euphoric wind-down worthy of the record that just finished. When all is said and done, the trophy on the cover of the album speaks volumes. El Michels Affair is champion sound and 24 Hr Sports hammers that home.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrumline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMágica\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e24 HR Sports Theme No. 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSay Goodbye\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOakley's Car Wash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnticipate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEastside\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean the Line\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCortex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e24 HR Sports Theme No. 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndifference\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarry Me Away\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTake My Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen Season\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVictory Lap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 349223013320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Big Crown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.5.25\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"El Michels Affair","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45455681454278,"sku":"35707","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/8085\/0374\/files\/4438281-3409433.jpg?v=1768499337"},{"product_id":"say-goodbye-b-w-magica-7-vinyl","title":"Say Goodbye B\/W Magica [7\" Vinyl]","description":"\u003cp\u003eEl Michels Affair pulls two standouts from his forthcoming 24 Hr Sports album and presses them on a sureshot two-sider 7\".The A side \"Say Goodbye\" is an instant hit with bouncing basslines \u0026amp; drums that carry the infectious and endearing vocals of Ghana's own Florence Adooni.

His signature sound has caught the attention of the mainstream while continuing to inspire the underground. Since 2023's El Michels Affair \u0026amp; Black Thought album Glorious Game, Michels has been busy producing records for other artists; Norah Jones' Grammy winning Visions, Clairo's Grammy nominated Charm, Kali Uchis' \"Moonlight\", as well as albums for labelmates Brainstory, Derya Yildirim \u0026amp; Grup Simsek, Thee Heart Tones, and Liam Bailey. His new album 24 Hr Sports marks the highly anticipated return to recording under his own moniker, El Michels Affair. 24 Hr Sports was inspired by the fashion and graphic design of '80s \u0026amp; '90s Sports Illustrated magazines, MF DOOM's Special Herbs albums, the sample sources used on them, and gospel music a la Pastor T.L. Barrett. The sum of those influences with Michels' impeccable creative touch prove to be the recipe for an instant classic that will surely be one of the most heralded releases of 2025. The album opener \"Drum Line\" is an anthemic, uplifting tune with marching band drumming and thundering brass arrangements that command undivided attention and set the tone for what's to come. 24 Hr Sports sees a significant departure from the largely instrumental music of the El Michels Affair catalog with a roster of vocal features that manages to mirror the undefinable genre of his music. The first one on the album is \"Mágica\" which features Brazil's Rogê. He takes the already pumping energy of the track over the top with his fútbol inspired lyrics. Moving from Brazil to Ghana, \"Say Goodbye\" features Florence Adooni who touts her individuality with an effortless swag jumping between Frafra and English, telling it like it is in the earworm chorus, \"never gonna find a girl like me...\". Labelmate and world renowned trumpeter from The Roots, Dave Guy joins the '70s groove of \"Oakley's Car Wash\" with his distinct horn lines before the track switches lanes, closing with a dubby outro. From raucous to serene, \"Anticipate\" featuring Clairo picks up on the musical synergy between her and Leon that created 2024's Charm album. Clairo rides signature EMA arrangements perfectly as she pines for an unattainable love over the band's airtight instrumentation. \"Eastside\" is a song that could soundtrack a sunrise over the ocean, putting Leon's tasteful use of space and arrangement on a pedestal. By way of Japan, The Suginami Children's Choir join in on the lush \"Clean The Line\" singing a song about the moon, the sun, and birds. Next, \"Cortex\" kicks in the door with gritty distorted guitars and thundering drums that puts a moment of pure cinematic intensity in the middle of the album. Leon himself handles lead vocals on \"Shining,\" a song about looking for a friend to share the joys of a sunny day with. The universally adored Shintaro Sakamoto is featured on \"Indifference\", a swanky tune built on bouncing basslines and flute chops. Shintaro uses the arrangements to go from singing to speaking, musing over a fleeting love. The Grammy winning duo of Norah Jones and Michels reunite on \"Carry Me Away\" with Jones' honeyed vocals soaring over a track that is hard to place but easy to love. Leon leans into El Michels Affair territory on the tune that sounds decidedly different from the Norah Jones records he has produced. \"Take My Hand\" puts gospel influence front and center with the Fabulous Rainbow Singers choir on the chorus and a saxophone solo from the late great Rahsaan Roland Kirk. \"Open Season\", a mid tempo, piano driven number with group vocals chanting \"we want the gold, we want the gold...\" could soundtrack a slow motion highlight reel, while the aptly titled album closer \"Victory Lap\" is a dreamy euphoric wind-down worthy of the record that just finished When all is said and done, the trophy on the cover of the album speaks volumes.
