Free Music Notes for Atlantis: Hymns for Disco
Free Music Review: K-os
Hit: 4 Stars
I am pleased but not impressed. I enjoy the product but not as thoroughly as I enjoyed EXIT. I don't think it flowed as well as EXIT, it was a masterpiece. I still have not gotten Joyious Rebellion but I think it will be more like EXIT. I feel like K-os was experimenting with this one. Nevertheless, I like his vibe and will continue to support his projects.
Atlantis: Hymns for Disco Poster
Like Lauryn Hill's Miseducation masterpiece and Bob Marley's Uprising, K-Os's Atlantis: Hymns for Disco flows with a constant emphasis on moving forward with positivity and unity, all within an impossibly funky package. The combination of strong melodies and K-Os's verbal dexterity means that Atlantis is filled with a brilliance that rarely lets up. Opening track "Electrik Heat: The Seekwill" sets the tone by mixing rapid-fire lyrics with '80s hip-hop beats and samples, courtesy of world-renowned turntablist Lil Jaz. K-Os?s soul-filled vocals take center stage on "The Rain," with all the smoothness of Stevie Wonder or Marvin Gaye circa 1966. K-Os could unquestionably release a whole disc of such songs and easily hit world stardom, instead, Atlantis is his vision, and his vision tends towards delivering lyrically insightful, cross-generational hip-hop mixed with reggae and even rock. "Valhalla" is another high point, reminiscent of Bob Dylan's cadence in "Highway 61 Revisited," juxtaposed with a floating chorus courtesy of friend/rocker Sam Roberts. One gets a sense that K-Os and crew have truly brought their top game to this disc, with no words or sounds wasted. --Denise SheppardDance & DJ Music CDs
