Album lore

Leather Park’s LEATHER PARK (VOL. 1), issued by EQT Recordings in June 2024, assembles a diverse roster of fifteen tracks that navigate the contours of alté, Nigerian drill, and afrobeat-inflected styles. The collective, led by Odunsi (The Engine), enlists a cadre of collaborators including Lamarre, Paxslim, Elias Slay6rr, and Lola to shape a sound that crosses afro r&b, afroswing, and afro soul with a deft hand. Tracks such as POKER and FRIENDS demonstrate the project’s emphasis on layered vocal interplay and rhythmic complexity.This release commands attention for its textured production and the interplay of regional influences, notably in cuts like Passage Du Désir (Interlude) and NYMPHOMANIA. The featured track RESSURECT, though absent from the partial listing, presumably aligns with the album’s thematic and musical sensibilities. LEATHER PARK (VOL. 1) has garnered a modest following, with nearly 6,000 listeners and over 118,000 scrobbles on Last.fm, marking it as a signal within the contemporary Nigerian alté scene.
