James Koppert (2698 KP) rated Afro-Polo by A-F-R-O / Marco Polo in Music
Nov 7, 2019
Marco Polo brings that traditional boom bap New York sound, you know what you getting, business as usual and all good here. There is a song featuring Gift of Gab and RA the Rugged Man and that's a perfect reference point for A-F-R-O's flow, it's that scattered pin point accurate raps and if he keeps up this consistency on a few more releases he could be widely recognised in grandeur.
Entertainment Editor (1988 KP) rated Kiddo by Jessie Reyez in Music
Feb 6, 2018 (Updated Feb 6, 2018)
Kiddo deals in equal parts emotional availability, intelligence and vulnerability. Previously heard tracks "Shutter Island" and "Figures" are multifaceted echoes of her soul, glimpses of emotion and reason that depict a fully realized individual who's greater than the sum of her parts. The EP follows along this wavelength, as Reyez expounds her forthright views on life, love and the connective emotional tissue in-between.
"Toronto is my city," she declares, setting the locale on the anthemic energizer that is "Blue Ribbon." The boom-bap of "Gatekeepers" explores the potential price of fame, symbolically and literally speaking, taking its lyrical and melodic cues from House of Balloons-era Abel Tesfaye. Closing things out are the interlude "Voice Mail" and the pop-minded "Great One," its piano strains underscoring its all-or-nothing metric when it comes to love.
With Kiddo, Reyez proves she's musically fearless yet frank, ripping open emotional convention to mine the prickly realities that lie beneath. It's the reason she is generating buzz and momentum as she works towards her inevitable and anticipated full-length release.
