Not just music but something of its own entirely. An audio experience that consumes you in its artistry and fearlessly expressive emotional honesty. Sonic worldbuilder and spiritual alchemist LATASHÁ captures attention in seconds, with the opening raw passion and exceedingly sharp, smart lyrical poetry of Out Here.
The first track is The Call and it’s a minimalist but rather spellbinding introduction to the mindset of LATASHÁ. However, as we move into the tribal dance and RnB / Hip Hop rhythm and surface-level juxtaposition of PPNE, it becomes clear that artistic expression from LATASHÁ is the sort that refuses to be pigeon-holed.
From spoken word to 808 hip hop, RnB, dancehall and electronic floor-filler energy, Out Here is a boldly eclectic new album, throughout which both the vocal character and production are next level in creating something mildly familiar but also completely unpredictable and engaging.
LATASHÁ counters catchy and gentle melodic resolves, such as for CHAOS, with hints of comical self-confidence, swagger, and heavy production choices, for a mix that’s playful yet driven by vibe and concept at every step.
These qualities ring loudly throughout the album, but at no point does this mean you know what to expect from the next track in line. The ideas meander from profound to simple and back, and always the music and performance remain securely tied to that wave-like process of discovery.
