Brilliantly captivating, surprisingly focused on its topic both visually and conceptually – Ab-Salam reignites the mellow, story-telling tone of hip hop’s alternative legends with the wonderfully topical D.R.E.A.M (Data Rap).
Decidedly poignant in lyric – ‘data rules everything around me…’, the track simultaneously offers a lazy vibe that creates a mellow, calming hit of escapism; heavy bass, tripped-up rhythms, spacious and dreamy synths.
The voice also has a level of laid-back, carefree fun to it, and all of this contrasts with the underlying weight of the subject matter – this lingering idea that we are losing all sense of control amidst the growing compilation of ‘data’ the world has on us.
Refreshingly interesting, a style that proves timeless once again, and an artist with a smart and uniquely contemplative writing style that genuinely elevate the whole creative approach. I look forward to hearing more.
