Renowned producer and lightning-fast turntablist P-Money has raised the stakes once again with his highly anticipated third studio album Everything, set forrelease on Monday 3 May.
By extending his team of collaborators, consolidating his production skills, and sidestepping genre boxes, Everything presents a winner’s podium of P-Money’s bold new directions - 13 fresh cuts that map the coordinates of his moves into house, hip hop, rock, R&B and beyond.
Like one of P-Money’s famed DJ sets seamlessly joining the dots between different sounds, Everything is unafraid to make links between music designed to motivate the dance floor, whether it’s the swaggering rock of ‘Falling Down’, the sly boogie funk of ‘Dance With You’ or the sinister stadium rave of ‘Angels’.
“Music has changed and I’ve matured too,” says P-Money. “I gained the confidence to step out of the box and try different things – I feel like I’ve got nothing to lose now. This album is funk, soul, disco, rap, rock, r&b… it’s everything.”
The new album’s stellar line-up of guest artists step up to P-Money’s new tempos with ease, including David Dallas and Aaradhna riding the jumped-up club rhythms of current radio smash single ‘Say Yeah’, and Scribe tearing up the remix to ‘Everything’, the chart-topping single that introduced the golden voice of newcomer Vince Harder and set the scene for the genre-hopping of this album.
"That piece of music was the most unique of all the tracks I was working on at the time, so I thought ‘why not take a leap of faith and put that one out?’” says P-Money of the single ‘Everything’. “People smile when they hear that song – they dance, they sing, they enjoy it. That’s how I know it’s a winner.”
What connects the songs from the new album to P-Money’s acclaimed back catalogue is his relentless pursuit of what makes a great record, challenging himself, his collaborators and his fans. Music has moved forward and P-Money has embraced these changes, crafting an album that is set to defy expectations.
“I had so much fun making this record,” he says. “That’s number one for me, above and beyond technique or production and intellectualism. I care about these sounds – I care about these songs. I put everything into it and it means everything to me. And there's a bit of everything for everybody.”
