Sehkou's work looks less like a single and more like an unveiling. The first scroll in his upcoming 13-part work, Solus, begins with "Proverbs 5:18–19 (Sunset: Ruach Mix)," which is presented with the quiet respect of a holy thing. From the first note, the song has a warm, rich sound with layers of vocals and a romantic glow that seems to get stronger with each progression. Even when it's most personal, the record never loses sight of its spiritual core. Sehkou makes a soundscape that combines devotion and art, inviting the listener into a place where love, scripture, and transcendence all come together.
This Ruach Mix adds more emotional depth to the song by seamlessly blending Angelica Allen's otherworldly harmonies, which sound like they were made from threads of breath and spirit. LaKeith Rashad's soaring performance at the chorus makes the song bigger and turns the whole thing into a piece that makes you feel both connected to others and reflective. The result is a piece of music that sounds like a prayer: soft, familiar, and very alive. Sehkou's pen, which is full of metaphors and hidden meanings, provides the song a poetic depth that makes it feel real. Each time you listen to it, you discover new truths.
The fact that Sunset has two sides is what makes it intriguing. It can be considered a romantic ode that is rich, beautiful, and full of sound. However, underneath its brightness is a living psalm. Sehkou builds a world where closeness turns into communion and where the sacred softly echoes through every musical passage. This piece is meant to speak to people regardless of where they are on their spiritual journey, whether they are emotionally centered or just looking for beauty.
"Proverbs 5:18–19 (Sunset: Ruach Mix)" is the first song on Solus, a collection of thirteen scrolls of lyrics based on the Bible. With this first release, Séhkou sets the tone for a mix of poetry, spirit, and sound that will grow deeper and more meaningful in the chapters that follow.
