Alkebulan

Two months late but you know we like to sit on things here at raW before we speak on them sometimes. Especially something as smooth as this. Newcomer (or at least new to me) Alexis Glenn gives us Irrational Illustrations At Heart. I had heard here before but only as a featured artist never her own stuff. I always wondered what something from her would sound like. Not sure where to begin with this one so I’m just jumping in. I feel like she has one of the most unique voices in this scene right now. The only other artist I can think of with a voice as unique would be Amadi Jae. Side Note: With that being said I’m not really sure if they are apart of the same “scene” Alexis Glenn falls a little more into the category of the few soul sirens that surround themselves with Atlanta’s hip hop scene (think Marian Mereba) where as Amadi Jae is nestled deeply within Atlanta’s Neo Soul counterparts. Back to what I was saying. This shit is smooth and passionate. Definitely baby making music. The way the use to do. Even on a smooth track with the things she can do with her unique voice she can almost make it aggressive which is probably my favorite thing about the project. Even when she preforms (or at least the few times I have seen it) she hit this little gyration that makes you just feel it. It’s old school in a way. I would love to hear a live instrument behind her. And for her to indulge more. Sometimes when artist do it’s to much do I could listen to her repeat the ending of As It Is for an hour. Lol. Dope stuff and shout out to Alkebulan who who seems to have produced most of the project. (And possibly engineered knowing his talents when it comes to controlling the boards for much of Two 9’s work.) Nice one guys. And can we get some visuals! @Lexin8or
