When it comes to pushing the boundaries of what is considered obvious and conventional, then there is no better person best equipped than pioneering and visionary artist and producer Black Majestic who hails from east of England. His catalog is an enchanting blend of hauntingly familiar contemporary hip-hop, soulfully memorable jazz, and exquisite atmospheric electronica, all inspired by both the worldly and the otherworldly. Listening to his 11-track project-themed “Time,” Black Majestic takes a listener on this unconventional journey that seamlessly unfolds like the very ticking of the seconds and minutes of a clock.
Let’s take for example that opener that has been dubbed “The Union (Intro),” off the bat, you can feel just how cinematically haunting it is as Black Majestic takes a deep dive into his production prowess to conjure something as atmospherically immersive as this. This is an ineffably moving listening experience that not enough words can quantify. You just have to listen to it to feel it. If anything, it is the kind that belongs to an ominous blockbuster film to really heighten the emotions.
“Not Justice” is melodic, moving like waves with a memorably consistent blend of rhythm and melody that makes it infectious as it progresses. This jam speaks volumes about the versatility and dexterity Black Majestic has to be able to surprise a listener when they least expect it.
A jam like “Crazy Story” has an undeniable hip-hop appeal with some dynamic components interweaved together for a seamlessly cohesive sound that is deep and powerful. “Ride or Die” features some synth leads, enveloping a listener in this synthetic embrace as Black Majestic gives it an extensive electro-pop-hip-hop structure that boosts the vibe in any setting.
The last jam “The Hardest in Here” features a signature hip-hop foundation that Black Majestic builds on to reach new exciting grounds and keep a listener heavily engaged.
“Time” has got something for everyone; – those who love the deep, atmospheric and immersive soundscapes are well catered for as much as those who love the dynamic hip-hop productions and synthetic and introspective soundscapes.
