David Lyn’s debut album, The World I Hear (Essence of Life), released in June 2024, is a rich tapestry of global influences and collaborative artistry that invites listeners to pause and truly absorb the world’s music. This album is the first in a series dedicated to exploring the elemental forces of fire, earth, water, and wind, with a special emphasis on the fluidity and power of love and water. Each track on the album is a sonic interpretation of Lyn’s vision of love as the foundation of all things, seamlessly weaving together various genres and cultural influences.

Leading the release are the standout tracks “Drum Connection” and “Maria Juana.” “Drum Connection” is reimagined by Chicago house legend Elbert Phillips, a protégé of the iconic Frankie Knuckles, infusing it with a vibrant, rhythmic energy that pays homage to the roots of dance music. Meanwhile, “Maria Juana” features the soulful vocals of Ibero-Cuban artist Arema Arega, known for her work with Gilles Peterson’s Havana Cultura, alongside composer and producer Andrew Nicholas, also known as Born74. Their collaboration results in a track that beautifully marries Latin influences with modern electronic production.

The album is a true international collaboration, meticulously engineered by Shamrock Guitor and mastered by Andy Compton at Peng Studios. The arrangements, crafted by Dr. Bob Jones and Gee W, bring together a diverse range of sounds, from jazz to reggae, reflecting Lyn’s eclectic musical background. Vocal contributions from artists like Vuyelwa Mgatyelwa and Elena Rogozhina further enhance the album’s global appeal, making it a work that resonates with the heart, soul, and mind.

In addition to the individual tracks, the digital release of The World I Hear (Essence of Life) includes a continuous mix curated by Lyn himself. This mix encapsulates the album’s thematic journey through elements and love, blending jazz, reggae, and country influences with Lyn’s expertise in flute, clarinet, saxophone, and piano. As Lyn eloquently puts it, “We all hear the music of the world, but we don’t often stop to listen.” This album is an invitation to do just that—stop, listen, and experience the universal language of music in its purest form.

Comparable to the work of artists like The Cinematic Orchestra and Portico Quartet, Lyn’s album stands as a beacon of modern jazz fusion, offering a deeply emotional and innovative listening experience that transcends traditional genre boundaries.
