Aaron Abernathy Dialogue

"Dialogue", the new album by Aaron Abernathy, sees the artist presenting
his side of the story in nine interwoven tracks. The album marks a
distinctly different conceptual approach, where the artist lays flat his
vulnerabilities as an American black man in 2017, discussing hot-button
issues of economics, segregation, and racial politics.
Dialogue was composed, produced, and arranged by Abernathy, and
creates a modern take of the classic soul sounds of the 1970s, with a nod
to the socially conscious themes found on albums such as Marvin Gaye’s
What’s Going On, Sly & The Family Stone’s There’s a Riot Goin On, or
Curtis Mayfield’s eponymous debut album. Nine songs are sequenced
and mixed to flow together seamlessly, and Abernathy’s skills as a
producer bring a consistency despite varied tempos and moods.
