GRAMMY® Award-nominated trumpeter, composer, and producer Theo Croker now starts yet another chapter in his constant evolution as an artist, returning with a new studio album LOVE QUANTUM. The seventh studio album from Croker since his 2007 debut, LOVE QUANTUM is the latest in the consummate artist and creator’s journey of self-exploration through storytelling. Arriving Friday, June 24 via Star People Nation / Sony Music Masterworks, the album finds Croker making his first-ever foray into the concept of love, once again inviting listeners on a genre-defying journey across time and space in discovery of the self and our shared human experience. Croker says: “LOVE QUANTUM is a continuation of my last album ‘BLK2LIFE || A FUTURE PAST’ which was about the hero's journey. Now the hero has to learn about love, and so this sequel is a tribute to the divine feminine light called “Love.” It's a tribute to love as a universal force and all the different levels of love that can exist…love of a friend, love of a partner, love of family and community, love of nature, love of yourself, and a love of life.” Featuring contributions by Jill Scott, Chris Dave, Ego Ella May, Gary Bartz, James Tillman, Jamila Woods, Kassa Overall, Teedra Moses and Wyclef Jean, each of the eleven genre-defying tracks on LOVE QUANTUM approaches the classic love story from a different perspective, and the end result is pure sonic bliss. ABOUT THEO CROKER - Theo Croker is a storyteller who speaks through his trumpet. A creative who refuses boundaries attracted widespread critical acclaim and garnered his first-ever GRAMMY® nomination for "Best Contemporary Instrumental Album”, for Star People Nation album in 2019. In addition to his music being featured in television shows (HBO’s Insecure) and films (The Photograph), Croker has also lent his talents to platinum-selling albums by J. Cole, Ari Lennox, Common and more, all while touring with his band at venues across the globe. In 2020 he released his sixth full-length album BLK2LIFE || A FUTURE PAST, a star-studded effort featuring contributions from Wyclef Jean, Ari Lennox, Gary Bartz, Charlotte Dos Santos, Iman Omari, Malaya, and Kassa Overall. Lauded as a “smoldering neo-jazz collection” by The New York Times and “a vital experience” by CLASH, the album yet again propelled Croker to new heights, including his late-night television debut with a performance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert alongside Wyclef Jean.
