Sdds (shorthand for the untranslatable yet oft-cited Portuguese word 'saudades' most closely approximated for melancholic nostalgia and/or longing for what never was or what will never be again) is the underlying vibe for this mixtape. From the melodic spirituality of vintage gospel music to the hopeful soulful sounds of contemporary LA artists, I hope these tracks offer a comforting salve as you sit with your saudade. This one's dedicated to the beloveds we lost and were otherwise separated from during a global pandemic.
