The Mindfulness Remix is the current single by River Nelson and AltoBeats, which builds on the original Mindfulness, from their latest album We Should Escape. For the remix, the duo tapped ultra-respected New York City rapper Koncept. Both artists delve deeper into the topic of mindfulness, a common and much-used meditation practice.
“There was such a huge response to the original Mindfulness, Alto and I decided to add on to it,” says River. “We’re also crazy excited to bring Koncept on for the ride this time. With the remix, we not only want to reintroduce the original song to people, but open up the topic of mindfulness and mental health again. Plus, the track that Alto produced is so dope, I had to write over it one more time.
Lyrically, River and Koncept explain how they achieve mindfulness in their day-to-day life, and they do it with high-quality lyricism.
“When I was just a kiddy, my love was strictly for the city / Now it’s nature, the ocean’s my bride, I’m her man, I’m on the sand / It’s like she’s coming down the aisle when she rolls to where I am / I’m with the seagulls feeling peaceful again,” spits River.
