Pop Matters&nbsp;said that “Nnamdï's sounds are a testament to&nbsp;the continual melting away of genre distinctions in the&nbsp;current era of (particularly Black) music.” His extensive&nbsp;catalog includes&nbsp;covers significant&nbsp;ground in hip-hop,&nbsp;pop,&nbsp;rock,&nbsp;punk, orchestral, and experimental music. In 2021,&nbsp;NNAMDÏ expanded his freewheeling sonic explorations for an&nbsp;entrée&nbsp;into&nbsp;the world of&nbsp;pop-infused dance and&nbsp;electronica&nbsp;with the release of&nbsp;the&nbsp;Are You Happy EP&nbsp;on November 12,&nbsp;2021.&nbsp;Notably,&nbsp;Are You Happy&nbsp;is the only NNAMDÏ project to date&nbsp;that he did not produce, perform, and record by himself.&nbsp;To&nbsp;the surprise of&nbsp;his fans,&nbsp;NNAMDÏ bucked that self-imposed&nbsp;precedent to work with Chicago producer Lynyn. Lynyn is the&nbsp;alias of composer Conor Mackey, NNAMDÏ’s longtime&nbsp;bandmate in the jazz-fusion quintet Monobody.&nbsp;Are You&nbsp;Happy&nbsp;released shortly before Lynyn’s 2022 debut&nbsp;electronic&nbsp;LP&nbsp;lexicon&nbsp;(Sooper Records),&nbsp;which went on to garner&nbsp;significant&nbsp;acclaim.&nbsp;DJ Magazine&nbsp;said that&nbsp;“lexicon&nbsp;is likely to&nbsp;set him apart as one of IDM's next visionaries”.&nbsp;Lynyn produced&nbsp;Are You Happy&nbsp;in its entirety, drawing on his&nbsp;extensive vocabulary of electronic music and masterful&nbsp;production chops to create the dense, finely detailed compositions at the core of the&nbsp;project. The songs on&nbsp;Are You&nbsp;Happy integrate&nbsp;IDM,&nbsp;drum and bass,&nbsp;dub,&nbsp;and a kitchen-sink&nbsp;of electronic&nbsp;genres resulting in one of the freshest and most&nbsp;singularly unique projects in NNAMDÏ’s extensive&nbsp;and shape-shifting&nbsp;catalog.
