GoldLink Breaks Down Debut Album, “And After That We Didn’t Talk” [Video]

We sat down with GoldLink to discuss the making of his debut album And After That, We Didn’t Talk. He made the album in a month, hunkered down in a DMV studio with his main producer Louie Lastic. Of “Spectrum,” arguably the album’s foremost banger, GoldLink said, “that track was supposed to be like a timeline of when I first met the girl that I fell in love with up until the time that I am in today.
