Olivier Laurent Releases Concept Album Solin Anj

Amityville-based hip hop and soul artist Olivier Laurent has released his latest project, Solin Anj. Available now on vinyl through 7Twenty6 Productions, with digital streaming set to follow on September 19, the album arrives as a moving concept piece inspired by Laurent’s forthcoming illustrated children’s book of the same name.

Solin Anj takes listeners on an emotional journey of welcoming new life into the world, imagined through the perspective of a child preparing to be born. The album captures the mix of fear, hope, love, and transformation that shapes the path to parenthood. Written during a time of personal transition, the songs balance sharp lyricism with introspective soul, influenced by Digable Planets, Phonte, and Mos Def.

With past works like Love & Basketball and Lavi Bon, Laurent continues to deliver music that resonates with honesty and depth. Solin Anj is both heartfelt and timeless.
