JAY-Z and D’Angelo are collaborating on a new track, set to arrive at the end of the week. The musicians have worked with Jeymes Samuel on the The Book of Clarence track “I Want You Forever.”
According to Pitchfork, Samuel has said that the song is “nine minutes and 32 seconds of absolute soulful, biblical bliss.” Saumel, who is the director and wrote The Book of Clarence, also produced the film alongside JAY-Z. The two have previously worked together on The Harder They Fall. The last song JAY-Z released was “God Did” in 2022 which was produced by DJ Khaled and featured Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, John Legend and Fridayy.
In a press release, Samuel said, “The Book of Clarence is a film that I wanted to make for many years. While I was working on The Harder They Fall and all my other projects, the story and the music for The Book of Clarence was always there percolating in my mind. There was never a question as to whether I would compose the score and write and perform on the soundtrack, as well as write and direct the movie—it was all one amazing journey where one depended on the other. But I also worked with the most awesome artists on our track ‘Hallelujah Heaven.’ Collaborating with Lil Wayne, Buju Banton and Shabba Ranks was so dope, I loved getting them all on the same track.”
Take a look at the tracklist below. “I Want You Forever” with D’Angelo and JAY-Z comes out on Friday.
