The Black Opera – Opera Hands /​ Teleport

DOWNLOAD HERE

On the heels of announcing their partnership with Mello Music Group, The Black Opera wastes no time in manifesting their movement, letting off two new missiles with “Opera Hands” and “Teleport”. The Black Opera is an ever evolving body of art that invites you to form your own perception.

With “Opera Hands”, TBO manages to create a danceable anthem themed towards urging US to literally conduct our own reality with our own hands. “Teleport” has a wavy vocal sample and synth line that match the dynamic and fluctuating delivery of the TBOGs. The lyrics reinforce the essence of The Black Opera, a nebulous entity that exists everywhere and nowhere simultaneously, materializing only in vivid demonstrations.
