Controversial
By
O.Love
In 2020, while the world seemed to stop, O.Love was moving
forward and stepping into new dimensions of musical awareness. This led him to
plan an album, Future Life Progression, and 2020 would see two singles released
from that album.
The first single would be Embellishment, which I previously
reviewed, the second is Controversial.
Controversial features Matt Owen (Noah and the Whale) and
Keno Decosta Medford (Sounds of Harlowe) providing guitars on what is the
opening track for the album and is intended to be a driving force and desire
to leave the DJ world behind and expand to newer, more exciting musical
heights, with universal appeal.
The single is a spaced-out Neo-Funk/Neo-Soul track that has
a vibe right out of hyperspace, deep space or some previously undiscovered
alternate reality. It has a funk fueled beat over which floats that eclectic
mix of guitar, synth and melodic vocals. Those vocals bring to your awareness
all that is or could be termed controversial. By the end of the track, you are
feeling like you have just been dipped into some awesome mix of Prince and
Parliament/Funkadelic but, with vibe like it’s all been experienced through
your third eye.
If this is the opening track to the album, then you can bet
that Future Life Progression could be just that on a musical level. You really
do get the feel that O.Love has plenty of influences that you can feel throughout,
and, on a personal level, it almost feels like he is channeling the spirit of
the purple one. but it also has his own touch that sets it apart from anything
else. O.Love is definitely carving out his own niche and producing some
exciting new music.
So, definitely check this and the album.
I’ll see you next time,
Peace,
Steve
