Free Music Notes for I, John
Free Music Review: good as it gets
Hit: 5 Stars
this album is fire. considering the circumstances (he knew he was going down for a decade plus), he channeled it very well in the studio. much more focused than poly sci, which is still one of my favorite albums. now he's helping tutor inmates so they can get their GEDs. can't wait for the follow up when he gets out circa 2014.
I, John Poster
The sophomore release from former Refugee Camp artist John Forté, I, John is a vast improvement over his unfocused 1998 debut Poly Sci, but there's a downside: Forté is currently serving a 14-year federal prison term, so his career is back on hold. Although recorded during the brief period of time between indictment and standing trial, the singer-rapper's album is unhurried and surprisingly well-developed, fattened by swells of reggae, tinges of electronica, lively guitar work, and lush vocals by the likes of Carly Simon, Esthero, and Forté himself. The strongest selections are slower and, quite understandably, wistful in tone. "Out of Bed" is reminiscent of U2's Joshua Tree period, while "Lady," taken in context, will be heard as a gentle lament. Most of the songs found here take a decidedly blues-rock approach; "What a Difference," however, is straightforward hip-hop anchored by a gorgeous, yet rather unsubtle, Dinah Washington sample. Sounding like an outtake from The Score, Forté plays it as a reminder of his past and an affirmation of his future. --Rebecca LevineR&B Music CDs
