If there’s a lesson to be learned from Major Arcana, it’s that retroactivity doesn’t need to be of the museum-display variety. One of her most miraculous talents is how she takes these high concepts and keeps them inviting and unpretentious while still requiring valuable patience and a certain steadiness of mind to appreciate the record as one full, cohesive, and uplifting piece.
CULOE DE SONG NEW ALBUM 2013 FREE
Loud City Song thus feels big, alive, and more ambitious than anything Holter has done, working with free jazz instrumentation of trombones, strings and double bass to explore a new sense of theatricality. The album is based on the 1958 Parisian musical Gigi, but was also inspired by Holter's life in the city-it is set distinctly within the context of the urban pastoral, conjuring the ambient noise of a bustling metropolitan area through swarming horns, or images of patrons walking on the streets with a cool-sung cabaret piece. This year's Loud City Song is the first Holter record to be made outside of her bedroom, but compared to that early sentiment, it feels especially external. pop singer, on her debut record, the one based on an ancient Greek play. "Try to make yourself a work of art/ Like me," sang Julia Holter, the experimental L.A. Push never oversells his songs, but listen through My Name enough times and you start uncovering the wealth of subtle hooks it has hiding in plain sight. With so much experience working with stripped-down sounds, Pusha has become a master of making a lot out of very little. Music crew, it’s not surprising that the album shares some of Yeezus’ stark sonics, but the beats are more comfortably luxurious. As one of the more ardent affiliates of Kanye’s G.O.O.D. Pusha’s bluntly unadorned flow has always been best suited to skeletal arrangements (revisit the decade-old “Grindin’” if you need a vivid reminder), so My Name dropping into the thick of a craze for minimalist rap worked out pretty well for him. But instead of becoming a liability, My Name Is My Name’s repeated delays ended up becoming an advantage. A hard working touring DJ, Culoe regularly plays across North America, Europe, Africa and Asia, taking inspiration for his own diverse productions wherever he goes.At a time in pop music where immediacy counts more than ever, Pusha T’s official debut album got pushed back so many times that it had started to become the rap-world shorthand for a project left to die on the shelf. With the likes of Dixon, Âme and Black Coffee helping to champion his sound, it wasn’t long before Culoe became an internationally in-demand DJ himself, making a triumphant Ibiza debut alongside these mentors at Circo Loco in 2015.
A prolific producer, he also released three successful albums on Black Coffee’ s Soulistic label in 2009, 20: A Giant Leap, Elevation and Exodus helped to propel him to superstar status
His emotive, powerful style struck a chord, and several more Innervisions releases followed; 2010’s Webaba, 2013’s Stig Boardersman and 2015’s Y.O.U.D. Just one year later, Culoe released his European breakthrough EP, The Bright Forest on Innervisions.
The following year, he was picked as a worldwide artist to take part in the prestigious Red Bull Music Academy in Barcelona, becoming the youngest participant in the Academy’s history at just 18. His talents were recognised early; he collaborated with Black Coffee on his 2007 album, Have Another One. Born in the northern parts of South Africa’s east coast, Culoe De Song hasn’t looked back after putting passion in the forefront of his life.
