"Yasiin Bey and The Alchemist Premiere 'Forensics' Live"

Renowned artist Yasiin Bey is set to join forces with acclaimed producer The Alchemist for the release of their new project titled “Forensics.” This highly anticipated collaboration will be showcased during a live stream performance on Bandcamp, scheduled for February 7, 2025, at 9:00 PM CET. This event marks the first time audiences will experience selections from “Forensics,” following their successful debut concert at Le Trianon in Paris on January 25, 2025.

The idea for “Forensics” originated in Los Angeles in 2023 and was cultivated through the connection of a mutual friend, Chace Infinite. This project represents a unique blend of musical artistry with elements from fashion, visual art, technology, and community engagement, aiming to create a profound connection between the artists and their audience.

Fans eager to participate can purchase access to the live stream for $9.99, which will be available for replay for 48 hours post-event. Additionally, viewers will have the option to buy the performance on Vimeo OTT shortly after its premiere. The full album will be released for audio download through Bandcamp by the end of the first quarter of 2025, with vinyl editions following soon after.

The innovative nature of “Forensics” extends beyond just the music; it introduces a range of merchandise tied to the album. This includes caps and wearable art, each featuring a unique BUMP™ tag. By tapping their smartphones on these tags, users gain access to exclusive content, including audio tracks from the album, replay links of the live stream, and the album artwork—creating a seamless integration of music, art, and the audience experience.

The art accompanying the album, titled “The Weight of an Ant,” is a collaborative effort between Bey and Anuar Khalifi, a Spanish-Moroccan artist who has worked with Bey in the past. Their creative partnership illustrates a rich fusion of cultural insights and artistic vision, enhancing the compelling narrative surrounding “Forensics.”

As the year unfolds, 2025 promises to be significant for both Yasiin Bey and The Alchemist, with additional announcements and creative endeavors expected as they push the boundaries of contemporary art and music. This project doesn’t just serve as entertainment; it seeks to innovate the way we engage with music and art at large.

Mark your calendars for February 7 and secure your spot for the live stream of “Forensics.” This is an occasion not to be missed for anyone who appreciates the merging of innovative artistry with impactful music. Stay tuned for further details and get ready to experience this groundbreaking collaboration firsthand.
