Our Take

MAKAYA MCCRAVEN's latest album, "In These Times," is a whirlwind of jazz fusion that will have you grooving in your seat faster than you can say "freeform improvisation." With his signature style of blending live instrumentation with electronic beats, MCCRAVEN creates a sound that is as unique as it is infectious.

From the opening track, "Opening Statement," it's clear that this album is going to take you on a musical journey like no other. The funky basslines, intricate drum patterns, and soulful saxophone solos all come together to create a sound that is both familiar and refreshingly new.

But what truly sets "In These Times" apart is MCCRAVEN's ability to capture the spirit of the times we are living in. Tracks like "The Hunt" and "Mak Attack" incorporate samples of news broadcasts and political speeches, giving the album a sense of urgency and relevancy that is impossible to ignore.

Overall, "In These Times" is a triumph for MCCRAVEN, showcasing his incredible talent as a musician and producer. So sit back, relax, and let the music take you on a journey through the highs and lows of the modern world. You won't be disappointed.
