Tales From The
Darkside
By
MC Oliver Twist
Featuring
Specifik and Franky Roar
It’s been a whole year and a bit since I reviewed the
stunning single Malawi by MC Oliver Twist. I am pleased that he is back with Tales
From The Darkside, a track that was released in time for Halloween this
year and is one that might not make it on to his forthcoming album.
Before I get into the track proper, I have to just say one
thing, if this track might not make it onto the album, then it promises to be
some album. Tales from the Darkside has production from Franky Roar and
features B-Line recordings Specifik on the cuts. This line-up alone screams
quality before you even hear a single beat or bar.
Tales From The Darkside is, quite honestly, a single
in its own rights and is one hell of a teaser for the upcoming album. Franky Roar cooks up this cauldron full of sound that is heavy on the pounding drums,
has twist of eerie piano vibes and a sprinkling of other sounds throughout.
Once mixed and blended you have this dark and strangely energy provoking sound
that quite honestly is perfect for this time of year. MC Oliver Twist brings
his lyrical prowess to the mix with some solid vocals that you can easily hear
throughout. He brings this interesting blend of stark lyricism that at times
touches scars of real world, while in the next second dropping lyrics for the
sake of it just to entertain. His vocals come straight from the light side but,
detail what it is to be in and return from the dark. Along the way the sound
and verbal visons have your nerves fraying with each line but, just to ensure
you are ready for the next onslaught, Specifik is there to remove those frayed
ends with some cuts that are sharper and more deadly than a guillotine blade.
What a cracking little trick this was to treat us to this on
the cusp of Halloween. As the veil between this world and the next was so thin,
we were treated to something that blurred the line between dark and light and
at the same time dangled an invisible carrot in front of us and planting the
seed of what is soon to come, out of the shadows and into the light.
If you’ve not heard this one yet, then do it now. If you
don’t, I can’t promise what might happen to you in your dreams…
1, 2, Twist is coming for your hide….
3, 4, Just grab Tales From The Darkside…
I’m outta Here,
Steve
