Contour, a singer-songwriter and producer from Charleston, South Carolina, has announced a new album titled Take Off From Mercy – his debut for Mexican Summer. Along with the announcement, he’s shared two new songs, ‘Theresa’ and ‘Gin Rummy’. Check them out below, and scroll down for the album cover and tracklist.
Contour worked on Take Off From Mercy with Saul Williams, Mndsgn, and co-producer Omari Jazz. He drew inspiration from Toni Morrison’s contemporary classic novel Song of Solomon and focused on guitar-driven songwriting. “It immediately got me thinking about the itinerant Southern bluesman,” Contour, whose real name is Khari Lucas, said. “The guitar as your only companion while traveling, the instrument as a tool to document your own story and carry on generational tales and traditions.”
