Introducing a compelling fusion of genres, an explosive collaboration between the unique spiritual consciousness of rapper Souleye, and the fiercely intense new metal weight of We Are PIGS – Ghost Town is a fast-paced and fascinating original track, that manages to feel both nostalgic and unrivalled in originality.
Souleye
Gentle hi hats, meandering bass, faultless flows and divine contemplations – California rapper and artist Souleye ignites the essence of self-reflection, with another musical gem in the form of the aptly ethereal Float Away.
Always an artist with an unrelenting thirst for exploring the unknown, Souleye impresses every time, and Final Frontier absolutely follows suit. There’s a subtle old-school groove and flow to the verses, which fuses unexpectedly well with these timeless dance synths and the stop-and-start nature of the set-up.
The entire first half blends genres with fearless conviction, not simply hip hop nor trip hop nor anything else – its own envisioned take on the inspiring concept of rising up from darkness towards the hopeful realm of dreaming.
As far as shifting the narrative and expanding the creative space of renowned genres, lifelong artist Souleye has crafted something of a humble yet whole-hearted masterpiece with this album.
There’s a blissful after effect to this track, and it’s a beautiful thing. There is something about the transcending of genres that strikes hard.
