Our Take
Our Take
Marcus Strickland's latest offering, "People Of The Sun," is a groovy, genre-bending journey that showcases the saxophonist's versatility and talent. With his band, Twi-Life, Strickland effortlessly blends jazz, hip-hop, and afrobeat influences to create a truly unique sound.
The album kicks off with the title track, "People Of The Sun," a bouncy, horn-driven number that sets the tone for the rest of the record. From there, we are treated to a smorgasbord of musical textures and styles, from the funky "Relentless" to the soulful "Timbuktu."
Throughout the album, Strickland's saxophone skills take center stage, but he also proves himself to be a capable composer and bandleader. The arrangements are tight and dynamic, with each member of Twi-Life getting their chance to shine.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "On My Mind," a dreamy ballad that showcases Strickland's more introspective side. The song builds to a crescendo, with the saxophone soaring over swirling synths and pulsating drums.
Overall, "People Of The Sun" is a triumph for Marcus Strickland and Twi-Life. It's a bold, adventurous album that pushes the boundaries of jazz and showcases the band's incredible musicianship. If you're a fan of innovative, eclectic music, this album is definitely worth a listen.
