PHILIPSBURG:--- Sigma Defence returns, bringing a new soulful sound to fans with the release of their long-awaited visual and audio album experience, ABANDON SHIP. The forthcoming record is set to be released on December 17, 2021.
Sigma aka Lo Gomez recorded most of ABANDON SHIP in a fledgling studio in Saint Martin, with engineer Youri Rogers aka AXEL R STUDIOS. Sigma works with producers Adrian 'Anno Domini' Wood, DJ Classy D, and H.A. for an eclectic sound.
ABANDON SHIP is composed of 9 tracks and spans over meditation songs like “Abandon Ship” to the ambient “Rice & Peas,” an electronic ballad with a driving force reminiscent of something from the 80s.
Since their last full-length release, a relaxing chillout style remains present yet matured, with a more refined worldview, “Truly, I didn’t expect the whole album to turn so well, especially having in mind that we have been recording it for 2 years. The new songs are inspired by some great life-changing events in my life, including the devastating hurricane Irma and a trip to Mexico, the home country of my father.”
And while each song varies in tone, they all are originals and circle back to one universal theme. “ABANDON SHIP is a soul-filled, catchy collection of reminders that love, harmony, diversity,
and unity can co-exist in our modern world,” says Sigma. The new record includes “Child’s Play”, a smooth cut that was written for lovers of Neo Soul, and “Enter the Minds”, a cautionary story for parents involving youth co-written and featuring long-time collaborator Simpletune.
Sigma Defence has high hopes for the success of this album. They said, “The new album is so intriguing. The word that describes it best is “balance”. Listeners will find it perfect for lounging, partying, and even meditation.”
Sigma Defence born Lorenzo Gomez was born in St. Maarten. They’ve collaborated with everyone from Christine Gordon and producer Dimitri to DJ Outkast and D.O Gizzle. And while they are often labeled with some form of the word ‘soulful’ (some have even compared their voice to velvety), Sigma’s style meets at a juncture of many different genres. There’s something about Siggi that is indescribably different — and with their newest project, they’ve discovered what most musicians spend lifetimes working for — the place where feel-good music meets vital social commentary.
ABANDON SHIP is now available to stream on all platforms including Youtube, Spotify, and Soundcloud. Put this link in your browser to see all the options for listening:
