Nai describes some of the new music being recorded as acoustic records, Г la Lauryn HillвЂs Unplugged. Hiatus Kaiyote Talk Jamming With Owls, Avoiding Madonna Features & 'Choose Your Weapon' AlbumД¬urrently, Hiatus KaiyoteВ is preparing to tour during the latter part of spring into the summer and is gearing up to release a new LP next year. To me, itвЂ™s not like one is more important than the other. вЂњThe fact that somebody like Drake, as prestigious as an artist, experiencing so much of life, all the time, foundВ sanctuary in, thereвЂ™s beauty in that too. Still, she expressed gratitude for DrakeвЂ™s artful selection. PaakвЂs incorporation of вЂњMolassesвЂќ (the penultimate track of Choose Your Weapon) on his MalibuВ (2016) cut вЂњWithout You.вЂќ The Australian artist says she receives countless reinterpretations of Hiatus KaiyoteВ songs on SoundCloud, with the most striking being a completely cello-edВ out version of one tune. When comparing DrakeвЂ™s sample to other artistsвЂ™, Nai shouted out her friend, Anderson. SheвЂ™s glad she did, as this new experience is very вЂњhumbling.вЂќ

Ultimately, the group decided to complete the project because they wanted to finish what they started. 1 Debut & New Streaming Record on Billboard 200 AlbumsвЂ¦Д«ack in 2015, вЂњBuilding a LadderвЂќ almost didnвЂ™t make the final cut of Choose Your Weapon. вЂњThe first time I heard it, the audio quality was pretty rough,вЂќ due to what Nai describes as вЂњshвЂ“ty connections.вЂќДrake's 'More Life' Set for Huge No. Thanks to the fear of email leaks and hacks, the band was only allowed to hear the sample over the conference call. It was anВ international affair: DrakeвЂ™s producers in Toronto, his management team in London, Hiatus Kaiyote in Australia and their management in New York City. вЂњThen we did a conference call with producer and his management, and they played it to us over the phone.вЂќ Someone hit him up and asked him about it being on the record,вЂќ Nai recalls.В At first, the rapperвЂ™s producers tried to re-create the tune with different arrangements and musicians, but each attempt lacked the originalвЂ™s power. вЂњI think his people reached out to Salaam Remi, who is the head of our label, Flying Buddha. The Australian bandвЂ™s biggest A-list stan took his support a step further when he sampled the song at the beginning ofВ вЂњFree Smoke,вЂќ using NaiвЂ™sВ hauntingly raw vocals and keyboardistВ Simon MavinвЂ™s minimalist accompaniment as the opener of his brand-new playlist More Life.
