Letta provides his second album for Coyote Records, Redemption. A new-found trajectory throughout the early months of 2016 and although still bound by sadness, details a producer who has finally come to terms with his past. More song-based than his debut Testimony (COY 001CD, 2015) - see the stunning and mournful "She Does Die", featuring New York vocalist Fielded, as a case in point - Redemption also sees Letta work with producers outside the Coyote Records camp for the first time, with Ryan Hemsworth and Mr. Mitch both making appearances. There are flashes of anger and disdain in both the title track - gritty and snarling instrumental grime - and the anthemic "You Were Wrong" which follows on from Testimony's emotional out-pouring. Redemption tells the second part of Letta's story with a deft and delicate hand.

Coyote Records are proud to present their debut album release, Testimony, produced by the immensely talented, little-known Letta. Letta's Testimony is an intensely personal and introspective musical manifestation of his years spent battling addiction, violence, and homelessness. His unique experiences and circumstances are conveyed through a kaleidoscope of synth-doused soundscapes, palpably melancholic but not without occasional glimpses of light. Testimony soars with flourishes of eski color, soulful vocal manipulations, and thick, melodic basslines in a style that touches on grime and hip hop yet is truly characterized by the emotive effect of compositions that transfix with their depth and imagination. Over eight tracks, Letta offers an encapsulating glimpse into his world; an album built to be listened from edge to edge. As a bonus, Letta also exchanges remixes with Last Japan -- Letta remixes Last Japan's "Harca" and Last Japan returns fire with his rework of Letta's "The Recluse." Design by Br3321.
