Rising rap star doesn't need RIAA
|
You won’t hear up-and-coming rap star Flo Rida griping about fans pilfering his songs on P2P sites, or complain that technology is hurting the music industry. Don’t talk to him about so-called digital divides either.

“Romany Soup” is absolutely classic: haunting, hypnotic, melodic. Please do get started on Bolan. Please do. (And don’t you dare leave out “One Inch Rock”.)

Album Review |
|
|
No chords for French singer Mina Agossi; just drums, bass and percussion. The voice is left alone centre-stage, herguttural huskiness and Flora Purim-like gurgles given free reign.
Agossisqueezes jazz, blues, rock and even French traditional songwriting into pretty, but darkly tinged and passionatelittle songs (don't miss the sweet pearl that is"May I Sit At Your Table?", with Malian string instrument the kamale n'goniproviding somemelodic support).
However, her unsupported voice is rarely unleashed to itsfull potential. The frequent use of a punkish rhythm section, though one that well serves the album's overcast mood, can at times sound repetitive. One wonders on occasion in which direction she wants to re-work jazz.
Not a consistent album, butfull marks for atmosphere and energy.
