KANYE WEST "my beautiful dark twisted fantasy" cd, 2010
a revisit
his fifth studio album of eleven,
this is the only one i own
lots of orchestrations on here
experts call it experimental trip-hop, jazz-rap, neo soul etc....
some Gospel sounding vocals, a real eclectic mix,
i can now see where the likes of Kendrick Lamar got his musical inspirations from
its just a shame he is a despicable excuse of a human being but that said....
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
"BTO....Bachman,Turner,Overweight
They were big in the 70s....for five minutes,on a Saturday,after lunch..." - Me 2014.

ELVIS COSTELLO & THE ROOTS "wise up ghost and other songs" cd 2013
a revisit
Costello backed up by the Jimmy Fallon house band
album is very funky musically for the most part
songs for the most part dont even sound like Costello songs rhythmically
im a huge fan of his music but i only like two or three on this album
and one of those is a re-write of "pills and soap" rebranded "stickout your tongue".
i acknowledge The Roots are definitely a 'tight' band but their sound does not blend with Costello IMO
I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM
favourite:
and the Pills And Soap re-write which i do like:

PRINCE "for you"
from Lynne's Prince vinyl collection
his debut
originally released in 1978 when he was 19.
incredible that he wrote, performed, sung and produced everything on here
i guess he oozed self confidence at such a young age he felt he was good enough to do it all himself
album has eight tracks and a multilayered vocal album opener to entice the listener in to his world
album is a combination of rock, funk, R+B/soul and disco sounds
overall vibe of the album is similar to "off the wall" and his falsetto is comparable to MJ and can be mistaken in places too
one track im not keen on but the rest is pretty good IMO and would score around 2.1 which means
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
