Dark Lite’s message is strong – don’t let any one tell you that you can’t do something. If the dream is there, go after it. From Belgium to New York is his story; a well produced, creative & passionate debut album.
The creative freedom to explore & express whatever is of interest is unstoppable here, which makes for something loaded with individuality. A touch of Outkast comes through on occasion, as does a hint of Cypress Hill. Everything else feels completely new.
This sort of composition and performance makes for the perfect pop-breakthrough track, relevant & well built, authentically performed, indicative of an eclectic artist on both sides.
Bringing together elements of electro-pop & trip-hop, the song has a certain softness that works gorgeously behind a distinctly memorable melody. The song is peacefully poetic & offers up a hopeful, easy to escape to vibe.
Right from this offset this release has such good vibes. The rhythm & lightness, that dance-hall or reggae-fusion feel, it lays the ambiance effectively & this is all backed up & enhanced by a considerably genuine, warm sounding leading voice.
How this much could emerge in one strike is immense – the stories, the flow, the rhymes, the vocal tone, the honesty, the musical eclecticism, the endless variety. A total must for fans of classic hip hop with fresh ideas & more than a few musical twists.
This album has everything you need right now – great vibes, great stories, immaculate musical performances. Turquoise Willie shouldn’t be a name you’ll forget any time soon – a project worth investing some time in. Music to make you feel fantastic.
It’s infectious to hear two guitars & bass playing the same thing that a drummer in a dance band would normally play. It’s also really exciting to be playing jazz & have folks dance to it.
Sometimes with experience come rules or walls that confine & control the creation of art. Peter Cavallo moves in some other direction, always developing skills musically, always pushing to reach new creative realms of expression.
Bringing back the rhythm, melody & chaotic structuring of their classic punk-rock fusion, P.M.K.S add to their ever-growing musical catalogue with the characterful, Bowie-esque The Catwalk Assassins.
D Brown’s Manchild bring about the nostalgic raw energy of a Jimi Hendrix performance. The song offers a smooth yet gritty gathering of electric guitars & all round soulful, passionate musicianship.
