Overview
- Sinkane shared the first single, “So It Goes,” on Tuesday, Nov. 10, 2026, with Tuareg guitarist Mdou Moctar supplying the song's solo and a desert‑psychedelic feel.
- The full record, He’s Gone, is set for release on February 26, 2027 via City Slang and was produced, engineered and mixed entirely by Ahmed Gallab himself.
- Album credits and the published tracklist confirm guest contributions from Yo‑Yo Ma, Preservation Hall Jazz Band and Annie & the Caldwells, signaling wide stylistic range across the record.
- Gallab wrote the album after his father’s death and describes the project as a process of grieving and catharsis that opens with an Istirjāʿ Qur’anic passage and explores memory and presence.
- The cover uses Ibrahim El‑Salahi’s Reborn Sounds of Childhood Dreams I with permission from Tate and the artist’s family, and Gallab will mark the release with a March 6, 2027 show at Public Records in Brooklyn with tickets on sale Nov. 13.
