Konshens returns to the Style & Vibes podcast to reveal the perfect timing behind his fifth studio album "Pool Party." Following the viral "Back That Azz Up" freestyle he seized the momentum for an album where the songs were complete, but not fully compiled into a project. We discuss the importance of embracing the moment and staying prepared in the music industry.
The inspiration behind the album, in such turbulent times? Konshens explains how watching the news during his creative process made him realize he didn't want to add to listeners' burdens. "I don't want to be the person that come and remind you that your life is stressful," he shares with refreshing honesty. Instead, he created "Pool Party" as a therapeutic music release with the same healing energy that classic dancehall has always provided.
