Leap Life
Leap Life is Saul Williams’ first solo album in over 10 years and marks a major return for one of the most influential voices in spoken word and experimental music.
Artist: Saul Williams
Genre: Electronica
Label: Big Dada
Release date:
Named after Saul’s leap year birthday, the project has been carefully sequenced by composer and producer, Carlos Niño, as a fully immersive, front-to-back listening experience. The album expands Saul’s sound into electronic and ambient territories while remaining rooted in spoken word, with rich sound design built from nature recordings, environmental textures, and expansive instrumentation.
It also sees Saul step further into the role of producer, drawing influence from Fela Kuti, Black church traditions, and South African electronic music. The record features a standout cast of collaborators including Kamasi Washington, Georgia Anne Muldrow, Moor Mother, Gonjasufi, and Surya Botofasina, alongside material developed with Robert Del Naja (Massive Attack).
Released via Big Dada, the album marks a full-circle moment with the label where Saul originally launched his solo career.
