AHI has announced his new album Prospect to be released November 5 via 22ND SENTRY/Thirty Tigers. The ten-song collection builds on the Toronto musician’s songwriting rooted in the lessons of community, uplift and oneness that he has drawn from years spent backpacking across the world, including extended stays in the Ethiopian Highlands and jungles of Trinidad before pursuing a career in music. In his still young career, AHI has already earned top accolades from Canadian tastemakers like the CBC and Juno Awards alongside early excitement from American audiences following a Tiny Desk Concert and opening shows at iconic venues like Radio City Music Hall and Red Rocks.
Prospect, produced by GRAMMY Award winner Paul Mabury in Nashville, finds AHI taking a turn inward to reflect on his own identity as well as what he’s seen in his local community.
The song, which originally came to AHI in a dream, tells the story of a mother named Evelyn who loses her son to a stray bullet. Shortly after writing “Danger,” AHI was connected through a series of serendipitous events with Evelyn Fox, a fellow Torontonian whose own tragic loss of her child eerily echoed the song’s story. Fox urged AHI to share the song as a way to shine a light on the issue and bring comfort to others, and in doing so he was reassured that in this life there are no coincidences. Evelyn Fox also appears in the poignant music video for “Danger” alongside AHI, which was directed by Hyst Films and captured on Toronto’s Adelaide Street, which is referenced by AHI in the song’s lyrics.
