2562 – Fever (Review)

2562

Fever

Released by When In Doubt


Dutchman David Huismans aka A Made Up Sound aka 2562 releases his third album Fever on his own label, When In Doubt. He now resides in Berlin- and as said city; his music is a mutation of textures, colors and moods. This is a concept record; from beat to bass line and beyond, every single second of music on Fever finds its source in a vintage disco record. He originally planned to do a few simple grooves based on sampling disco records as an escape from electronic music, and ...

Adele – 21 (Review)

Adele

21

Released by Columbia


Despite doing pretty well for herself with 2008 debut record 19, Adele's really arrived in 2011. 19 saw her vying for the same crown as, like, a jillion other soul-y, British, white girls (see: Amy Winehouse, Candie Payne, Duffy, Joss Stone.

The Lady Killer

That isn't to say that the current title isn't fitting in it's own right. In fact, The Lady Killer almost actually warrants the classification of a concept album. Right off the bat, Cee-Lo's soothing voice quickly turns sinister on the intro as he growls, "when it comes to ladies, I have ...

Bilal – Airtight’s Revenge (Review)

Bilal

Airtight's Revenge

Released by Plug Research


For almost 10 years we've waited, like high school girls by the telephone, for an official follow-up to 2001's 1st Born Second from Bilal, the modern day Curtis Mayfield who falsetto'd over some of a generation's most cult-ish rap cuts. In 2006 there was a blip from Internet-leaked Love For Sale, but it got shelved by the label and passed unheard by many. Over the past decade he's toured and worked regularly, showing up everywhere from semi-obscure Radiohead tribute compilations to songs by Erykah Badu, The Game, Clipse, Solange. ...
