Behold by Ojo

The new album by Ojo Taylor signals a bold declaration of individuality countered by an immediate denial of the ego. Entitled BEHOLD (stylized with a self-negating strikethrough), the work is simultaneously relatable and starkly personal. The music of BEHOLD defies clear labeling, but will appeal to fans of alternative, gothic, world music, and symphonic sounds. The aural palette of BEHOLD balances power and sensitivity, contrasting darkness with light. Orchestral passages ring with power and swoon with emotion. Guitars crackle with feral energy. Keyboards whisper quiet truths and speak with authority.

As the driving force behind groundbreaking alternative rock band Undercover, Taylor created soulful, thoughtful, and symphonic rock music from the ‘80s into the early ‘00s. BEHOLD gathers experiences and perspective to inspire fellow travelers in a different world than the one reflected by that band. Emerging from introspection and revealing considerable musical evolution, BEHOLD is Taylor's first album in more than 20 years and the fullest musical expression of his personality.

A person can become his or her best self. The world can become a better place. May it be so, declares Taylor via BEHOLD.
