Free Music Review: A Return to Form
Hit: 4 Stars
After dropping one near classic ("The Carnival") and one over looked jewel ("Ecleftic"), why Clef seemed tentative and often uninspired on last year's "Masquerade". It felt as if Clef was stifled by weight of his own reputation for innovation and genre bending. On his fourth album, "The Preacher's Son", his first for J Records, Clef puts the outside the box collaborations and flamboyant genre mixing on the back burner and the result is a strong and cohesive collection of quality and soulful songs. Musically, the album stays mostly in Clef's comfort zones of Hip-Hop, Calypso and Reggae. Lyrically Clef combines the folksy story telling Calypso tradition with the swagger and pop culture references of hip-hop. On "Industry", he rides and hard baseline in a style halfway between rapping and singing and turns in a heartfelt plea for peace in the hip-hop nation. Missy Elliot stops by to add her characteristic energy and staccato flow to a jubilant island groove on "Party to Damascus". And Reggae super stars Wayne Wonder and Elephant man kick laid back reggae verses inbetween Clef's melodic Calypso grooves on the chorus. Clef even ventures successfully into Latin sounds with Carlos Santana on "Three Nights in Rio", and vintage quiet storm R&B on the seductive "Baby". The album keeps a diverse but consistantly fun groove through out, but the highlights come at the end when Clef gets a little more serious. "Next Generation" mixes themes of rebellion and spirituality over an intense hip-hop beat and Caribean inspired melody. "Rebel Music" follows with a groove bouncy enough for the clubs, but dark enough to resonate as Clef sings about the plagues of urban society and the music business. And on "Who Gave the Order", Clef channels the spirit of the great Bob Marley for an anthem of defiance, righteous anger and ultimately spiritual resiliancey.
While not quite the aural feast of Carnival, The Preacher's Son is better written and conceived than Masquerade, and more cohesive than Ecleftic. Over all, a solid effort.
Free Music Review: Check this revelation!
Hit: 5 Stars
As a long-time Clef fan, I was severly disappointed with his last album, Masquerade. The Preacher's Son makes up for that and a whole lot more. Although not as powerful as the Carnival, Wyclef has done it again and produced a masterpiece that will not disappoint his fans.Free Music Review: darn good
Hit: 5 Stars
'this disc has some really good stuff on it, it'sbeen reviewed so i wanna say this to the people who
may be easily swayed by negative peer group pressure,
hard core hip-hop heads don't like wyclef, but hard core
hip-hop heads are in the minority, they don't like wyclef,they don't like
everlast,they don't like anybody else who dares pick up a guitar, use
real musicians or even let on that they can play an instrument.
'clef bashers, eminem bashing would be time better spent.
the rest of you buy the disc and enjoy
Free Music Review: CELEBRATE!
Hit: 5 Stars
celebrate the fact that Wyclef has undoubtly delivered a classic album. The joints on this disc are truly some of his best works. My favorite track, that i had previewed on his site before the CD even came out was "Celebrate" with Patti LaBelle. I can't even explain how this track def. needs to be the next single. My girl rocks that joint and Wyclef delievers just as well. Track #5 Baby Daddy, is an ode to all step-fathers who are raising they're spouse's children, this is def a joint for them. I must say i'm very pleased with this album. Pick it up!
