PRESS ON DINNER PARTY 


"It’s not every day you run into a supergroup as exciting as Dinner Party."  – HYPEBEAST

 

“One of the most formidable supergroup lineups imaginable...Dinner Party’s self-titled debut is a seamless-sounding project, seven songs that sit in the sweet spot between 9th Wonder’s throwback beats, Glasper’s mellow keys, and the two saxophonists’ melodic digressions. ”   THE FADER


"As the name lends, Dinner Party is invite-only for those who not only live in the now, but also cook up recipes that will be shared for years to come." – ESSENCE


The word “supergroup” has gotten thrown around loosely over the years, and sometimes the collected resumes don’t always add up to that distinction. But that is … very much not the case with Dinner Party. The new band is the project of Terrace Martin, Kamasi Washington, Robert Glasper, and 9th Wonder. These guys have spent their whole careers eliding the boundaries between jazz, soul, and rap, and that’s exactly the intent with Dinner Party  STEREOGUM


“This group is full of musicians who have been leading the jazz/hip hop crossover moment for years” – BROOKLYN VEGAN

Powerhouse supergroup Dinner Party, comprised of Terrace Martin, Robert Glasper, Kamasi Washington and friends, announces the release of their highly anticipated studio album Enigmatic Society out on April 14, 2023. The album features the exceptional vocal stylings of contemporary artists including Tank, Arin Ray, Ant Clemons, and resident Dinner Party guest Phoelix. Continuing with a fresh take on instrumentation, Dinner Party propels listeners through an uplifting and euphonious soundscape. 


Enigmatic Society is a follow-up to Dinner Party’s 2020 self-titled debut album, and the content of the music pays tribute to the duality of both beauty and adversity in Black America celebrating Black joy, life, art, and culture. Dinner Party is a family affair, as the cover art for Enigmatic Society and the debut album were designed by Washington's sister, artist Amani Washington

Dinner Party drops a new single today “For Granted (feat. Arin Ray)” ahead of their album release. The track combines slinky saxophone, melodic piano and Ray’s sleek, neo-soul vocals while the foundation of the song incorporates elements of nature with a water sample looped throughout. Dinner Party encapsulates the ability to fuse jazz instrumentation with soulful R&B melodies over classic hip-hop production while redefining what is expected of popular music.
