We are pleased to announce the release of our children's book, She Sees, a children's picture book adapted from Substantial's song, In My Daughters' Eyes. She Sees is a Black father's observation of the world through the eyes of his two young daughters. This picture book takes readers on a journey of a father who witnesses his daughters, Serenity and Destiny, begin to make sense of the world around them and their place in it. The book is illustrated by Mierra "Lunabunneh" Nelson and edited by Rachelle Etienne-Robinson.
When you order the book through Bandcamp, it comes with an ebook copy of She Sees and an early digital copy of Substantial's new project, A Soundtrack for Fatherhood. ASFF is a collection of new and previously released songs. The music is inspired by both his experiences as a father and by the new book.
The beats on ASFF are Substantial's signature jazzy and soulful sound including several self-produced tracks including three all-new songs. Other production credits include Marcus D, Allmos (fka Algorythm) ½ of the production duo The Stuyvesants, Oddisee, and Jon Laine.
A Soundtrack for Fatherhood also includes guest appearances by Stephanie Gayle (fka Steph the Sapphic Songstress), Asheru, Kokayi, Gods'Illa, Jsoul, DJ RBI, DJ AAROCK, and Fjer.
