With how strong the influence of music from the eighties has been over the years, it is not much of a surprise when people release new music that contains a style that truly feels like something that would have been around several decades ago.
Music
Things evolve in a natural way, the intensity rises & the performance switches to more of a rap at the height of that passion. The instrumentation grows more colourful and a little heavier in unison with this change.
The details work well, the carefree storytelling style seems to make everything seem OK – as is the role of punk rock, to normalize volume & chaos or at least to draw attention to it & create a shared understanding.
There is no such simplicity as a verse-chorus-verse-chorus set-up on this album. Expect stories, expanding scenes of emotional & artistic turmoil, and absolute, unwavering creativity.
Bishop extends her creative reach into the realms of a Regina Spektor inspired vibe with this single. Purity & cleverness fuse to make for something that leaves a gaping void of unwelcomed silence when it comes to an end.
J-Carter is a thoughtful artist, creative & expressive, unafraid to deal with topics others may stray away from. This is only his second album, and by the rate & quality of these releases – expect bigger & bolder things to keep on emerging.
Ridikule puts everything into this – the playlist pours through with creative & comedic skits, musical details that keep things interesting, and an overall theatrical level of passion & entertainment that reminds you of the classic breakthrough albums of the genre.
A five-track collection of down-tempo, easy going hip hop songs that are met with a mellow ambiance and a fairly raw, notably independent aura that drives the whole thing in a relatable way.
Andrej’s approach to musicality is one of a natural connection to the art, it seems that he has taken on the essence of this song’s concept & considered every possible way to represent it.
There’s a definite hint of Leonard Cohen about Lorusso Jr.’s songwriting & the sound of his voice. The depth & the emotion, the delicacy & grit, all work smoothly together to give the story-line a certain weight & authority.
The track is subtle but certain in its fusion of genres & in driving with an authentic approach to expression & a clear love for & connection to music. There’s something about a track like this that makes it need no real introduction
Hype! is an album ready & waiting to fill the room around you with chaotic energy & classic rock & roll brightness. It’s a project fit for the build-up to anything big – consider this your weekend playlist.
