About:
Enigmatic Society is the next offering from the multi-faceted, Grammy-nominated supergroup Dinner Party. Full of opulently intricate instrumenta[on and a range of sleek R&B to smooth neo-soul vocals, Enigma[c Society is mesmerizing in its en[rety. The album features brilliant performances from the debut Dinner Party crew: Terrace
Mar[n, Robert Glasper, Kamasi Washington and 9th Wonder, with addi[onal help vocalists Phoelix, Arin Ray, Ant Clemons, Tank and producers Sounwave, Hi-Tek and Trevor Lawrence Jr. Enigma[c Society serves as a follow up to the group’s 2020 debut self-[tled album and con[nues as a celebra[on of Black joy, life, art, and culture, as it pays tribute to the duality that manifests in both the beauty and adversity in Black America. This deep sense of community and family flows throughout the project with the album’s artwork designed by Kamasi Washington’s sister, artist Amani Washington.
