“The Times” is David Aldo’s 6th solo album and it consists of his most personal work yet. He shares specific times in his life such as when he was held at gunpoint in an armed robbery and another when he was attacked in his home by armed robbers during unsettling times in Johannesburg. A fusion of acoustic pop and hip-hop and alternative rock, “The Times” reflects on life in our world today and has spiritual and inspirational meaning.
