These collaborations showcase Moby’s knack for discovering and spotlighting unique voices across genres, as well as his commitment to addressing personal and political issues through his music.
Moby’s search for fresh and inspiring talent extends across a range of genres and styles, as demonstrated in always centered at night. The album brings together diverse vocalists such as Gaidaa, J.P. Bimeni, and Aynzli Jones, merging global influences into his electronic framework. The project itself is a continuation of Moby’s vision to create music reminiscent of the eclectic sounds he encountered in New York’s record shops in the 1980s, blending discovery with emotional depth.
In celebration of his classic album Play, which sold over 12 million copies and features hits like “Porcelain”, “Natural Blues”, and “Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?”, Moby will embark on his first tour in over a decade.
