Album Review: Silk Sonic - An Evening with Silk Sonic

Ulysses Luevano

An Evening with Silk Sonic is the debut studio record by American R&B duo Silk Sonic, it was released on November 12, 2021. Take an era of soul music and influence their music around it, with the peanut butter and jelly chemistry between Bruno Mars and Anderson Paak only taking the album to a whole new level. Stellar, To be completely honest this record was destined to be incredible just from the 3 phenomenal singles, but the album cuts really caught me off guard. Front to back "An Evening with Silk Sonic" is a fantastic throwback nostalgic journey, This is a collab for the history books. The chemistry between Bruno and Anderson is just unbelievable! They complement each other perfectly over transcendent production and produce a true Smooth Soul Pop experience. This album is everything I wanted it to be and more. I'm utterly impressed with everything here. They managed to put together an amazing body of work without ever overshadowing one another. Hope we hear more stuff from them. I rate this record 10/10.

Album Review: Luz Futuro - Falsos Techos

Falso Techos is a brand new ep by Spaniard Post-punk New Wave musician Luz Futuro, it was released on December 21, 2020, If you are nostalgic for the Spanish music of the 80s, the young Canary artist Daniel Benavides del Pino a.k.a. Luz Futuro is your man. He is undoubtedly one of the most interesting proposals with which we closed 2020 full of new musical discoveries. Thanks to his father's musical influence when he was nothing more than a "pibe", Luz, manages to create a completely fresh and renewed new version of pop, rock, and new wave that sounded in one of the golden eras of music in Europe. Imagine for a moment what the music of groups like Duncan Dhu or La Unión would look forward to if they continued to produce with a direct look at today's society, for that is Luz Futuro; a nostalgic who bets on a past he did not even live and that leaves us even more doubts about whether reincarnation exists. It got this airy retro wonder jangle guitar and harmonizing vocal

Album Review: Tears For Fears - The Tripping Point

The Tripping Point  is the seventh studio full-length album by the English band Tears For Fears, It was released on February 25, 2022.  Tears for Fears is not a band I thought I would be listening to new material from, but they deliver a record that is a masterful example of balancing assimilation of modern techniques and trends into their music and maintenance of their original synth-pop 80’s style. As a fan of their classic albums and especially their hot singles from then, some of which remain to be some of the greatest pop hits of modern music, I enjoy that this album preserves their original sound whilst taking advantage of new technologies. Usually, when artists of their period release new music, it sounds extremely dated. This album breaks away from that and is both refreshing and nostalgic. I rate this album 8/10.

Ceremony is the second studio album by Darkwave Brownsville , Texas  Duo, Twin Tribes. The album was released on December 13, 2019. The first single Heart & Feather off of the second studio album titled "Ceremony". T his new album is practically flawless, Dare I say, it is 'mature' and full-bodied in resonate and atmosphere. To my ears, an exquisite combination of post-punk, coldwave, and darkwave. In fact, I would say it transcends there genre labels and a great collection of songs. Highly recommend, don't sleep on this composition. Their Music is Haunting,  it's darker, deeper in pitch and melancholy it feels less cheesy, more serious & sincere like it comes from a heart that's dead but still beating. I rate this album 10/10. Ceremony by Twin Tribes
