Latency

Releases 8 May 2026.
Single + Preorder on 9 April.

R&B outsider Zsela joins forces with Inc. No World’s Daniel Aged (Frank Ocean, Kelela, ), and film composer Taul Katz on 4 Dreams, a billowing ambient-neoclassical hallucination originally commissioned for the exhibition Seven Heavenly Senses at Hôtel de la Marine in Paris.

4 Dreams unfolds across four tracks, each shaped by enveloping harmonies of cinematic strings, FM synth textures, humid bass drones, and Zsela’s soulful vocals. While the project marks a departure from her debut Big For You (Mexican Summer, 2024), traces of soul, jazz, and R&B remain deeply embedded. Her humming, jazz-inflected vocal lines—rich with subtle key changes—draw the listener inward. 

This shift toward ambient and instrumental work extends ideas first explored in her collaborations with Actress on ​‘Angel’s Pharmacy’. 4 Dreams shares an atmospheric sensibility while also echoing the legacy of spiritual jazz pioneers such as Alice Coltrane and Dorothy Ashby.

At its heart, 4 Dreams is a record that’s entrenched in jazz, soul and classical minimalism rather than throwaway numbing music, of the contemporary variety. The cover art is a detail of a painting by American-Haitian visual artist Naudline Pierre.
