R&B: Ab x 14KT – “Saturn Return” (LP)
It’s out. Following the link below takes you to “Saturn Return” – a collaborative effort by singer Ab and producer 14KT… but it’s much more than that.
“Saturn Return” is more than an album… It’s a story that was developed by two friends, while they were individually working their way through one of the most grueling transition periods of their lives. This period left them both questioning their purpose in life, what they wanted for themselves, what made them happy, as well as who they were.
Their conversations and the continual support of each other led soul singer Aaron “Ab†Abernathy and beat-smith 14KT to co-produce a progressive soul album focused on a love story between characters Ab and Lalah. However, it is an experience that anyone can relate to.
