KEYON HARROLD

When Keyon Harrold is listing the influences that he turned to during the creation of his rich and evocative new album "Foreverland" (January 2024 / Concord), he cites the likes of Radiohead, Fleet Foxes, Fela Kuti, John Coltrane, and, for a second, he becomes vulnerable - the list is too basic, too-serious music listener starter pack. But, out of that moment of insecurity, he spins an indelible flex: “You are what you eat, and I have a pretty strict diet in dope shit.”
