So far, 2022 is off to a great start with some impressive music releases, and such an example is Saba's newly released record.

His third studio album, Few Good Things, arrived Friday, and it's incredible. The 14-track project, the followup to his 2018 album Care For Me, also features several guest appearances from the likes of Black Thought of The Roots, 6LACK, Smino, Fousheé and G Herbo.

"The concept of Few Good Things is the realization of self after a search for exterior fulfillment,” says Saba on the record's meaning. “It is the satisfaction and completeness you gain by simply living a life that is yours. Few is a small number, but few is not lonely. In the face of all adversity, a few good things is recognizing and accepting blessings. Few is to count them, one by one – an empty glass is full of air, an empty bank is full of lessons, and an empty heart is full of memories. Few good things is to grow comfortable with the empty, and despite that, finding your fullness.”

Coinciding with the album's release, Saba will also soon be premiering an accompanying short film Few Good Things.
