Recorded in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Art Of Dear was tracked live to tape in an endeavor both to capture the inimitable energy of his band The Funk Apostles' live shows and to channel the warm analog vibes of the 1970s.

That'due south not to say it'south without spontaneity, though – the band worked with minimal rehearsal and several tracks are actually first-take recordings.

"I want to make music that really means something," Henry explains. "I think of the 60s and 70s as this aureate era of music, and if you await at some of the elevation artists then similar Curtis Mayfield and Stevie Wonder, they were singing virtually what was happening effectually them in this creative fashion that fabricated people want to human action. They used music as a tool to reach the world and bring about change to help make it a better place. I want to practise that, as well."

The Funk Apostles are Cory Henry (Hammond B3, synthesizer, vocals), Nicholas Semrad (synthesizer), Adam Agati (guitar), Taron Locket (drums), Sharay Reed (bass), Denise Stoudmire (vocals), and Tiffany Stevenson (vocals).
