Product Information
Ant’s production on Bad Actress marks a bold evolution from his work with Atmosphere, Felt, and others. Melding gritty hip-hop with blues, rock, soul, and country influences, the album leans heavily on grime-caked beats and supercharged guitars. Highlights include “Gratitude” displaying a Sly Stone–style of funk warmth, “Music Man” serving up acoustic ballad intimacy, and “Runnin’ Back” channeling minimalist gospel elements—all showcasing Ant’s expansive palette beyond boom-bap.
Here, Ant’s fusion of live instrumentation—guitars, Moog-like synths, smoky organ—and hip-hop rhythms, come together to create something that feels both raw and soulful. The result: a genre-blurring departure with expressive depth and emotional complexity. These tracks deliver cinematic, soul-infused soundscapes—layered yet immediate, intimate yet expansive.
