André Cymone is pleased to announce his forthcoming LP The Resurrection of Funk, arriving this August. Boldly reclaiming and reimagining a genre many thought had faded, Cymone reasserts his place within the “Funkmosphere,” continuing the legacy he helped shape alongside early collaborator Prince and the Minneapolis Sound movement.
On this new record, Cymone once again pushes his artistry forward, driven by his distinctive approach to bass and sonic texture. Guiding listeners through the experience is “The Funk Forecaster,” a vibrant persona who leads the journey deep into Cymone’s world of funk revival and reinvention.
With The Resurrection of Funk, André Cymone reaches a pivotal moment of reflection and redefinition; personally, culturally, and musically. Here, he steps fully into the sound he helped pioneer, treating it not as a revival, but as a reclamation of authorship and origin.
For the first time in his solo work, Cymone handles every element himself, performing all instruments with no guest contributors and no AI-assisted production. The result is a deliberate emphasis on human performance and instinct, underscoring the irreplaceable presence of lived musicianship in an increasingly automated landscape.
