"Basic Needs" comes off Black Labyrinth, the first solo studio album from Korn frontman Jonathan Davis, released on May 25, 2018 through Sumerian Records. It was a long time coming: Davis had been hinting at going solo for years, from the Queen of the Damned soundtrack to his mid-2000s band Jonathan Davis and the SFA, which ended after the death of guitarist Shane Gibson, and kept writing on his own through the next decade of Korn.
Davis produced it, wrote the music and shares the lyric credit with Peet & the COM. The credits stretch well past a standard rock lineup: Shankar on violin and extra vocals, Mike Dillon on tabla, Wes Borland and Davis on guitar, Zac Baird and Davis on keyboards, Miles Mosley on bass and Ray Luzier on drums. Jim Monti recorded it and Josh Wilbur mixed.
