David drops a new single and EP “Burning Bridges” inspired by the generally tumultuous times in which we find ourselves. He says “America is the most volatile I’ve known it in the 30 plus years I’ve lived here. Being a father of brown children makes me more concerned than ever about their safety and their future. I just responded to the moment and let things flow out. I think while the song depicts an adversary, it’s necessary to hold mirrors up to ourselves and realize that we created this, and only we can solve it.” The title song was mixed by Grammy-nominated engineer Fernando Lodeiro who has done work with the likes of Roberta Flack, Esperanza Spalding and Vampire Weekend. Rapper Haifah Walidah is prominently featured on the uptempo “Resist” and the more contemplative “Millimeters” features the flute work of David’s Soulfolk Experience bandmate V. Jeffrey Smith. David is wholly responsible for all other output. “This record is the product of loss and lockdown. A cathartic way forward through this messy moment we call 2020. Hopefully this music helps fight our way through.” Burning Bridges is available on Spotify and Apple Music.
