Paul Institute
Friday 25th March 2016 marks a momentous day for fans of the Paul brothers Jai and A.K. They announce the launch of their new venture - The Paul Institute - a dreams incubator, a collective or a musical university based nowhere. And alongside that, the first single by founder brother A.K. - most cosmic R&B - funk titled 'LANDCRUSIN'. Rarely has so much ink spilled, digital text tapped out and Soundcloud plays wracked up (well beyond 15 million) for such a pair of mercurial and mysterious artists. Jai has officially released two songs on XL - 'Jasmine' and 'BTSTU' - both co-produced by A.K. Meanwhile A.K. Paul had a break through moment a year ago launching the career of BBC Sound of 2016 'wonky funk' singer NAO with 'So Good'. 25th March represents a new chapter as the brothers launch a new brain trust / collective, with more musical, conceptual and artist releases due.
