Bahamas’ breezy R&B album

On his latest album, carefree folk troubadour Afie Jurvanen turns to some unexpected influences, including Anderson Paak’s festive funk and Kanye West’s chaotic rap. He and two members of D’Angelo’s band holed up in an L.A. studio to record Earthtones, a hybrid of sultry R&B and Bahamas’ signature laid-back sound, all bass grooves and breathy harmonies. The night before its release, Jurvanen debuts the slow jams at an unorthodox Massey Hall show—the auditorium will be empty except for 150 spaces onstage—that will be recorded and then broadcast on SiriusXM.
