Go back to the drawing board ,,,nice try
First of all what a wonderful surprise!! Its a smart, fresh album title with a vivid cover. I know I'm going to get soul, creativity and current consciousness before I even listen. I was listening to Cee-lo, Closet Freak when the ad streamed on Spotify, so it was a wonderful segue instrumentally. TOP SONG on the album was Beautifully Bad (is this the song from the ad?). Talib's dripping paced lyrics are a perfect way to ease into this song. God Bless My Soul is a rich experience and a favorite as well. Covered in Fantasy feels like the start of something beautiful, I want more! It's the most science fiction-y song on the album, if any. Laser Beams and System Addict are a set of very jammin' party songs as well. Rat Race has the most biting, current and potent lyrics but the hook is a bit commercial sounding (slightly soft for the lyric that we make our own rules)...on the verge of kid pop, from my perspective. The Floor also slightly misses the mark for me, sounding a bit too dance track-y. Overall the album is mix of political, love and dance songs that stand a bit independent of each other. Would love to feel more chemistry between the artists like in Beautifully Bad. Love that there was new creativity and perspective there (which we can always expect from Res and Talib) and thank you for the listening party!!!
I like it! Especially Covered in Fantasy and Beautifully Bad.
LOOOOOVE IT! Keep it up :D
