1001 Albums Summary

A lot of jazzy elevator music vibes, but in a good way. Not huge into instrumental only albums so this didn’t hold my attention much. There were some stand out moments towards the end of the album where the feel changes a lot. This is a nice background music album but I probably wouldn’t search it out again.

This was a fun album to listen to. Had me dancing in my kitchen. I’m a little too young to have been able to appreciate this album back in its heyday, but growing up watching Flavor of Love had me excited to hear Flav in his element. And I gotta say, it did not disappoint. His higher pitched YEAHHHH BOYYYY was a perfect play off of Chuck D’s lower vocals. I felt so much nostalgia for childhood and the rap music vibes from the late 80s/early 90s. I could see myself adding songs to playlists in the future, maybe I’ll bust this album out again for the right occasion. It’s crazy (sad) how the things they’re rapping about back in 88 are still relevant today. Actually thinking on it, I may do a deep dive on this band soon because it was a very interesting and fun listen. A glimpse into a world/time frame I’ll never experience, I guess?

What a hauntingly beautiful album. Nina’s voice is so unique and makes me feel like I’m sitting back watching a live performance at a speak easy. The piano, the vocals, just everything is beautiful.

Amazing. Simply amazing.
