EVERYWHERE AT ONCE; a few SoleSides words...
Although the album hasn't been released just yet, the people at the SoleSides Messageboards are hyped about Lyrics Born's new album already. This is partly thanks to a short review written by us at SoleSides. Here are a few quotes;
- "Differences;" Just love the vibe on this
- "Cakewalk;" This one not only sounds good, it sums up a lot of what LB/Quannum stands for; And that's working hard day in day out and focus on what you want to achieve.
- "I like it I Love it"; If "Lady Don't Tek No" was part 1 and "Callin Out" was part 2, than this one is part 3. No further explanation needed. Pure niceness.
- I Can't Decide"; Gotta love the "pumpin" beat / bass and LB's energy filled MC style over this
- Joyo's singing on "The World is calling"
- 'un deux trois' on "Hot 2 Deff"
- The uptempo / almost happy vibe on "Do You Buy It" vs the not so happy subject. Quite a unique contrast.
- The summer-vibe on 'Rules Were Meant To Be Broken' - which makes it a timeless track (or even the underdog on this album)- we can imagine this one popping up on several summer mixtapes for years to come.
Well done, Mr Shimura, Well done...
