Kiyan Foroughi’s first concept album, inner light OUTER SPACE, is finally here! The main track, The Destination, is a cool mix of thoughtful hip hop and neo soul.
It includes Substantial, who’s worked with Nujabes, and Rachelle Ruby’s amazing voice. The song is about finding yourself. It tells the story of someone remembering who they were before the world changed them.
Kiyan Foroughi takes inspiration from the Persian poet Rumi and Carl Jung to make music that’s smart and emotional. The song mixes jazz, trip hop, and boom bap to create a cosmic neo soul vibe. Having worked as a tech CEO and grown up in Paris, Dubai, and London, Kiyan adds a worldly feel to his music.
The Destination is just one part of a bigger story told across 10 songs. Other talented people on the album include Masia One and Darius Homayoun from Succession. Metal Magazine and Wordplay have already acknowledged Kiyan Foroughi, a fan of Kendrick Lamar, KAYTRANADA, and Massive Attack.
This album is like a movie for your ears that explores what it means to be human. The Destination single is available now. Give it a listen!
