(spotify link) the original track and album are iconic for obvious reasons, but jamie brings a dreamy, ethereal quality to the production and sampling that elevates this track to some kind of angelic transmission from another realm i met him at a party
he said the sweetest things
i was lonely and naive
i guess that’s why i believed every word.
former black midi frontman brings his suave voice and dense lyricism to a solo act; the title delivers: while some tracks have an air of familiarity to them, greep definitely ventures into new sonic territory with this work. standout track: Holy, Holy (spotify link)
oh boy is this a good one. been on repeat for the last little bit it makes me feel so warm and cozy inside 😊🌟🫎 idk what mic or what effect or whatever he’s using for his voice but golly gee… so crisp so nice. i can feel every instrument deep in my bonesssss and his melodies are probably my favourite ever. yeah. it’s awesome. i will admit that last track being 20 minutes long catches me off guard every time but i listened to it all the way through one time and it‘s magical 🦟 however i don’t think there’s enough adderall in the world that could get me to listen to it in its entirety again
labi siffre is definitely most known in recent years for “my song” which became the main sample found in kanye west’s “i wonder” ive been listening to a bit more of his catalog and its fantastic. this album is a great starting place, and “cannock chase” is a blissful and simple singer/songwriter song that’s proven to be easy to listen to no matter how my day is going
