Every so often a voice comes along that pierces through the white noise and definitively commands your attention. Possessing a unique and charming cadence, the South London-raised Ghostpoet luminously unleashes baritone narratives on his electro hip hop full-length debut Peanut Butter Blues & Melancholy Jam. Having already garnered a buzz from the likes of BBC following his impressive Sound of Strangers EP, this laid-back, pensive emcee is poised for a real breakthrough with the new record. The lead single “Cash And Carry Me Home,” which features a brilliant minimalist video directed by Tim Brown, is Ghostpoet at his most stark and vulnerable. “Us Against Whatever Ever” is a triumphant, lo-fi love story that cuts to the bone. His tone is beautifully dark yet hints at brighter days just beyond the shitstorm. My only complaint with Peanut Butter Blues & Melancholy Jam is that the beats can sound a bit familiar from song to song. They are, however, intriguingly orchestral and glitchy in all the right ways.
