N’dambi has been getting her share of media coverage for her brand of soul music in the last few years. For her fourth album, her first for Stax Records, she creates a nice groove that will please fans of soul music that owes much to the past but still keeping things in teh now.
Pink Elephant (Stax) is an album by someone who sounds rich with experience, and that need to hear someone so comforting will be fulfilled in abundance. If you enjoy the greatness of Roberta Flack and a fondness for songs that actually sound like they were written and arranged, this will be a perfect choice for your weekend listening session. It makes me wish more singers like N’Dambi would be in the mainstream, but I think the copycats would help try to tarnish the original blends or recipes.
Preach Jacobs has been traveling quite a bit since his last release, including a successful trip to Japan. His time abroad has moved him to reflect and get lyrically deeper. This, from a guy who is easily one of the more gifted MC’s out today, and it’s basically another way of saying he continues to show the strength and power of his last album, while showing the progress of someone with a lot of promise as an artist.
Maple St. Sessions (R2) is an EP that brings Preach together with producer Denz to create music that doesn’t only represent hip-hop, it is hip-hop, looking at all of the different characters, personas, and real people that he acknowledges in a track like “Thank You”. He even works out a club-type track called “Cool Out”, but it’s not a song that you want to end up suffocating in stale air, it’s a plea for people to relax and just chill, whatever the situation. In “Forest Whitaker” he’ll deliver with a quick verse, only for Denz to flip the beat as if it’s making a temporary pit stop, only for him to rev it up back to its normal speed. Both of them are people you want to listen to, as they help you get caught up in their formulas so you’ll know exactly what they’re talking about (and yes, Denz is talking, in a musical sense). A 7-song EP may seem short, but if EP’s are the way of releasing music in 2009, I want more EP’s. Those who still put faith in MC’s to drop their own level of science, you can now put on a lab coat because class is in session.
(Maple St. Sessions will be released on October 27th, and you can pre-order it from UndergroundHipHop.com.)
A group of five, steered by two primarily people, are called Uke Of Spaces Corners, and they recently said goodbye to MySpace in order to follow what they call “a more analog lifestyle”. I put faith in that and wish I could do that too, but I listened to their new album, Flowers In The Night (Corleone), before I had read the analog comment and yes, they are all about being amongst the people in a real way, and that real way is something that comes from their own way of living.
Uke Of Spaces Corners sounds like it was recorded in one room with a cassette deck and the wood that make up their stringed instruments. It’s loosely folk, it’s loosely country, it’s loosely punk, there’s a lot of loose elements but what brings them together is a need to be incredibly adept in a pop sense, even though they, like Beat Happening, are far from being super poppy or sensible. Then again, a song like “The Book Of Tea” would have sounded cool in its wall of toy pianos if certain instruments were in key. But what you hear when Dan Beckman sings is something that’s one part Oly pride, one part Jefferson Airplane, and maybe with a hint of Flaming Lips‘ slivered adventures:
the tape courses round and round
once the leader is out, setting off on its way
the water wouldn’t bubble up
around here without a pump
so as we’re standing by
the pressure flips a switch
with a crested kiddish grin and a blue forehead
the grass is golding as the afternoon lives amongst the grains
Flowers In The Night is some really trippy camp music for clever freaks, and you wish you could stop your life for a moment and join them in their acoustic festival of sound. I would join them if they would welcome me, so I could play congas. If this is what it means to live “a more analog lifestyle”, perhaps we should all turn off from the new pollution and follow by example.
