First Impression Reviews
Lenny Kravitz- Black and White America C+
Release Date: August 2011
Black and White America is an ambitious and admirable musical statement. But unfortunately this retro hodge-podge of funk, soul and rock feels a tad overdone. For every great song (
Come On Get It), there's an equally disappointing one (
Dream), and lots of songs that I will either like or loathe after more listens. This one is catchy enough to be a commercial success, but ranks somewhere in the middle of his catalog of music. Favorite Tracks:
Come On Get It,
Black and White America (Acoustic Version),
Superlove
James Blake - James Blake B
Release Date: February 2011
It has taken a while to digest this one. Initially, it struck me as more interesting than good. But this much-ballyhooed, blue-eyed soul dubstep album is beginning to grow roots and plant its self inside my head. Trippy, yet sensitive... Favorite tracks:
I Never Learnt To Share,
Lindisfarne I,
Unluck
