 ‘I Guess I’ll Never Learn’ is S. Fidelity’s third solo album on Jakarta Records, after ‘A Safe Place to Be Naked’ (2017) and ‘Fidelity Radio Club’ (2021). It’s by far the most complex project of the Swissborn and Berlin-based artist and producer.
 On 13 songs, together with seven guest vocalists, S. Fidelity explores the circular nature of romantic relationships, structured into three acts. While he sings in his signature mantra-esque style over two songs, the album also features an exceptionally diverse cast of vocalists. Among them, Collard, a close collaborator of UK pop experimentalists
Bakar and Kojey Radical, and Dawn Richard, a multidisciplinary, boundary defying artist from New Orleans who first rose to fame in the mid-2000s as part of the R&B group Danity Kane, only to reinvent herself in recent years as an independent artist, animator and creator, collaborating with Kaytranada, Flying Lotus and Adult Swim. Other guest singers include Jerome Thomas, Raelle and Wandl.
 Heavily rooted in the ever-evolving tradition of soul and R&B songwriting as well as hip-hop beat making, S. Fidelity delivers an organic sound, often played on live instruments, by himself and his collaborators like bassist Roman Klobe (of Moses Yoofee Trio), guitarist Alex Cosmo Blake (who wrote songs for Greentea Peng and 6lack) and lo-fi hip-hop icon FloFilz playing the violin.
