Our Take

Ah, CHINESE MAN, the French trio known for their eclectic blend of hip-hop, electronic, and world music. Their latest offering, "We've Been Here Before," is a sonic journey that's as bizarre as it is captivating.

From the moment you press play, you're transported to a world where East meets West in a collision of beats and melodies. The album kicks off with "The New Crown," a track that sets the tone for what's to come - a mix of traditional Chinese instruments and modern production techniques that somehow just works.

As you delve deeper into the album, tracks like "Golden Age" and "Shikantaza" showcase CHINESE MAN's ability to seamlessly blend genres, creating a sound that is uniquely their own. The production is top-notch, with each song offering something new and unexpected.

But it's not just the music that sets this album apart - it's also the sense of humor and playfulness that shines through in tracks like "Racing With The Sun," which features a catchy hook and cheeky lyrics that will have you bopping along in no time.

Overall, "We've Been Here Before" is a wild ride that proves CHINESE MAN are still at the top of their game. So sit back, relax, and let yourself be carried away by the infectious energy of this album. You won't regret it.
