Seattle producer Sango finally released his long-awaited sophomore full-length In The Comfort Of in early March, nearly four years after originally announcing the album. After years of working and reworking his beats, Sango told Complex in an interview, "I had probably 25 different versions of a beat or something like that. Just redone, redid, added some chords, changed the structure. I feel like God was like, 'Yo, chill out. It's gonna happen. You don't have to keep rethinking. Give it time, let it work." The time paid off for the Soulection-affiliated producer because the album turned out beautifully. "Speak" is one of the many highlights on the album and today's song of the day. In The Comfort Of follows 2013's North and includes features from Xavier Omär, Jesse Boykins III, JMSN, Smino, James Vincent McMorrow, and more. Catch Sango at the Sasquatch! Music Festival on Saturday, May 26.
