Recommendation: Shine Through

Magnus | August 21, 2008

[Sentence describing the likelihood for you having heard this or not]

I have already told some of my people about this, the feedback was mixed (Pål liked it, Stelf didn’t). Aloe Blacc, said to be the indie R. Kelly (the singing part not the eeeeww part), put together this blend of Hip Hop, R&B, soul and spanish… Yes Spanish, this was the part Stelf wasn’t feeling, but I love it. Some songs are in spanish, like a cover of “Ordinary People”. Aloe (Vera, no) was brought up in Orange County speaking both languages, so why not? With a varied album like this, you’re bound to like one or two songs on this album, hopefully all of them. The Jackson brothers produced one track each on this (released from Stones Throw, what would you expect?), the rest is by Aloe himself. There’s one track that I especially like (not that I like it supermuch, but more than most of you might do), “Busking”, sends my mind back to cold early november mornings waiting for the bus (have a listen, you’ll understand). Listen through this on iTunes before buying, then buy it, because you’ll love it, because I tell you to… maybe.

Favoright songs: Nascimento, Caged Birdsong, One Inna

You should add a link where we could recommend music to you… ??

But about Aloe Blacc… I checked a couple of his songs at youtube and iTunes. He was pretty good (Except the ordinary people cover, which was totally super awsm!!!!!). I’m most likely not buying, unless I see one of his albums at my local record store.

Good idea Saku, i'll see what I can do!
