Our Take
Our Take
PUMA BLUE's latest offering, "In Praise Of Shadows (B-Sides & Live Versions)," is a delightful kaleidoscope of sonic textures that will transport you to a dreamy, hazy world where time stands still and emotions run wild. From the hauntingly beautiful "Super Soft" to the soulful melodies of "Velvet Leaves," this album is a treasure trove of hidden gems that will have you hitting repeat on your Spotify playlist faster than you can say "encore."
The B-Sides on this record are like hidden Easter eggs waiting to be discovered, each one offering a fresh perspective on PUMA BLUE's signature blend of jazz, R&B, and indie pop. Tracks like "Pretty You" and "Blood Loss" showcase the artist's innate ability to seamlessly blend melancholy with euphoria, creating a musical rollercoaster that will leave you breathless and wanting more.
But it's the Live Versions that truly shine on this album, capturing the raw energy and intimacy of PUMA BLUE's live performances in all their unfiltered glory. From the stripped-down beauty of "Opiate" to the sultry seduction of "Only Trying 2 Tell U," these live recordings transport you front and centre to the heart of the action, making you feel like you're right there in the crowd, swaying to the music with a pint in hand.
Overall, "In Praise Of Shadows (B-Sides & Live Versions)" is a mesmerising journey through the mind of one of music's most enigmatic talents. PUMA BLUE's ability to weave aural tapestries that simultaneously soothe and stimulate is nothing short of magical, making this album a must-listen for anyone craving a musical escape from the mundane. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
