Son Little plays all the instruments on invisible, but enlisted the help of producer Renaud Letang (Feist, Manu Chao) to record the album at Paris’s iconic Studios Ferber. Blending old-school R&B with modern indie, the new music is right on the line between vintage and contemporary. 

Since debuting with a self-titled record in 2015, Son Little has made a name for himself for working with The Roots, RJD2 and Mavis Staples—in 2016, he produced Staples’ version of  “See That My Grave Is Kept Clean,” which won the Grammy for Best American Roots Performance.
