Guess I'll Never Learn [LP] Vinyl Record

I Guess I'll Never Learn is S. Fidelity's third solo album on Jakarta Records. It follows A Safe Place to Be Naked (2017) and Fidelity Radio Club (2021). It's by far the most complex project of the Swiss-born and Berlin-based artist and producer. On 13 songs, together with seven guest vocalists, he explores the circular nature of romantic relationships, structured into three acts. While S. Fidelity sings in his signature mantra-esque style over two songs, the album also features an exceptionally diverse cast of vocalists. Among them, Collard, a close collaborator of UK pop experimentalists Bakar and Kojey Radical, and Dawn Richard, a multidisciplinary, boundary defying artist from New Orleans who first rose to fame in the mid 2000s as part of the R&B group Danity Kane, only to reinvent herself in recent years as an independent artist. Heavily rooted in the ever evolving tradition of soul and R&B songwriting as well as hip-hop beat making, S. Fidelity delivers an organic sound, often played on live instruments, by himself and his collaborators like bassist Roman Klobe (of Moses Yoofee Trio), guitarist Alex Cosmo Blake (who wrote songs for Greentea Peng and 6lack), and lo-fi hip-hop icon FloFilz playing the violin.
