Our Take
Our Take
Ah, MOURNING [A] BLKSTAR, the enigmatic Cleveland-based collective that never fails to push the boundaries of genre and sound. Their latest offering, The Cycle, is a mesmerising journey through soul, jazz, hip-hop and everything in between.
From the moment the pulsating beats of "Reckoning" kick in, you know you're in for something special. The powerful vocals of frontman Rahel and the intricate instrumentation create a rich tapestry of sound that's impossible to resist. Tracks like "1990," with its haunting melodies and thought-provoking lyrics, showcase the band's ability to blend social commentary with irresistible grooves.
But it's not all serious business with MOURNING [A] BLKSTAR. The playful energy of "Surge," with its infectious hooks and catchy chorus, will have you bopping along in no time. And the infectious optimism of "Open Spaces" is like a warm hug for your ears.
The production on The Cycle is top-notch, with each instrument given space to breathe and shine. The blending of live instrumentation and electronic elements creates a dynamic listening experience that keeps you engaged from start to finish.
Overall, The Cycle is a triumph for MOURNING [A] BLKSTAR, showcasing their versatility, creativity, and undeniable talent. So do yourself a favour and give this album a listen - you won't regret it.
