Legendary crew The Roots return with their latest musical creation Undun.
Undun marks the first conceptually-based album from The Roots: The album is a re-telling of the short life of one Redford Stephens (1974–1999)…
Through the use of emotives and Redford's internal dialogues the album seeks to illustrate the intersection of free will and prescribed destiny as it plays out ‘on the corner’. Utilising a reverse narrative arc, the album begins as the listener finds Redford disoriented–postmortem–and attempting to make sense of his former life. As he moves through its pivotal moments he begins to deconstruct all that has led to his (and our own) coming undun.
In between recording the new album, the Roots have continued to perform as the house band on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.
