Uness Announces "Never Home Until I Wander," a Six-Year Journey Home, Out August 22

Uness, the trilingual singer-songwriter and multidisciplinary artist, announces the release of his third official EP, "Never Home Until I Wander," arriving August 22 on all major platforms.

The EP marks the end of a six-year unfolding. In the wake of the pandemic, with time suddenly wide open, Uness stepped away from the big city noise, into nature and into new music influences. What began as a search without a fixed destination eventually led him back to the classroom, enrolling at university to pursue his education. He landed in Ndakina, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Abenaki people, commonly known as the Eastern Townships, and it was there that this project found its shape.

"This land is the backdrop of this EP," Uness explains. "It's what inspired me to write it. Every word and every note in it is intentional." The countryside, the forests, the way the light falls at sunset over open fields; it has a way of stopping time still. It's a presence in the story, something almost otherworldly, a quiet supernatural pull that runs beneath every song.

Musically, "Never Home Until I Wander" is the closest thing yet to Uness's essence. While R&B, the genre he grew up in, never fully captured who he was becoming, NHUIW reaches for a wider canvas, different shades of soul that keep you company on a drive at dusk, along the 147. It is, in his words, the truest reflection of who he is musically at the moment.

"Never Home Until I Wander" is a deliberate turning of the page and an ode to love and "the beyond." On August 22, Uness shares the EP with everyone who has been part of this new chapter, especially the people of this land who walked alongside this adventure, whether they knew it or not.

"Never Home Until I Wander" releases August 22 on all major streaming platforms.

Uness, Never Home Until I Wander EP à paraître le 22 août

Uness, auteur-compositeur-interprète trilingue, sort son troisième EP officiel, Never Home Until I Wander, disponible le 22 août sur toutes les plateformes d'écoute.

Ce disque est l'aboutissement de six années de travail. Au sortir de la pandémie, Uness prend le temps de s'éloigner du bruit ambiant, de renouer avec la nature et de découvrir de nouvelles musiques. Ce chemin le mène finalement vers un retour aux études, en Estrie, sur les terres de Ndakina, territoire ancestral et non cédé du peuple abénakis. C'est là que le projet a pris forme.

« Cette région est la toile de fond de cet EP, explique Uness. Elle m'a inspiré à l'écrire, et chaque note ici est intentionnelle. » Les paysages de la région, les collines, les forêts, la lumière du soir, imprègnent le disque d'une ambiance particulière, presque étrange, qui traverse plusieurs des chansons.

Musicalement, Uness s'éloigne un peu du R'n'B qui a marqué ses débuts pour explorer une palette plus large de sons et de couleurs. Il décrit ce disque comme le reflet le plus fidèle de qui il est, musicalement, à ce jour.

Avec cette sortie, Uness tourne une page et invite les gens qui l'ont accompagné pendant cette période, particulièrement en Estrie, à découvrir le résultat.

Never Home Until I Wander sera disponible le 22 août sur toutes les plateformes majeures.
