Tomorrow (May 3rd) Black Star return after 24 years, with their new album " No Fear of Time" entirely produced by Madlib, it is coming exclusively to the Luminary App, I just hope CD's and the finished product come out good, excited is probably an understatement, I appreciate the authenticity, soulful vibe, traditional sound, lyrical excellence based around social commentary, politics and the human experience in this World they brought, as a duo they had an affinity and great chemistry on that "Mos Def & Talib Kweli Are Black Star" album, without a doubt the album has Afrocentric and knowledgeable themes all over it in a powerful and deep way, on my favorite song "Thieves in the Night" they talk about how corrupt the system is and that we should not let our ego's move to another persons misleading ways and focus on our own perception's and views in Life, just love that track, the album has the ability to paint a picture for the listener and the soundtrack of the production is just mellow and beautifully crafted, for the messages and vibe the duo wanted to go for on there. The album also displays the ability of Mos & Talib to be personal, insightful and open with the listener, which makes you warm to it, empathize and be absorbed in the album as a full body of work, I don't have high expectations or low expectations for the new album, I am just happy it's being made and it's got a hell of a producer on the boards in Madlib, Words by Mark Mcauley.
"Recorded guerrilla style in hotel rooms and dressing rooms around the globe, the 9-track album has a future vibe with vintage soul, fitting for one of the most anticipated releases in decades..." brief introduction of what the new album "" No Fear of Time" is about and how it might sound.
