Album Review: Lafa Taylor & Aabo Want Their Music To Create A Feel
Lafa Taylor & Aabo might as well be music consultants for Broad City. Their new album LP , FEEL, encompasses the exact vibe of the show and Brooklyn youth. An artful ambitious drive that can get clipped and sided by “real world situations”. For the tide of Millennials Lafa Taylor & Aabo smash together influences from Fela Kuti to Frank Ocean, to give dance music that makes you want to paint yourself in rhythm.
I cannot say I have a particular, favorite song on FEEL because they are all “jammers”. From “Already Found” to “Run To Me”, Lafa Taylor & Aabo achieve exactly what they wanted an ambiance. While most artists, rightfully, try to perfect a sound particular to them, Lafa Taylor & Aabo go straight for an atmosphere. The minute you press play songs like, “Think Of You” and “Raindrops And Red Wine” radiate vibes more than beats. A mood drops over you the allows Lafa Taylor’s flow feel like a smooth drizzle of syrup on your “mind pancakes”. Yes, I know that is a humorous comparison, but Lafa Taylor & Aabo are as fresh and hearty as a good breakfast.
“Turn My Music Up” and “Real Love” feel like morning jogs are coursing through your mind to amp up your approach to life, which, again, cane be boiled down to Lafa Taylor’s flow. He blends singing and rapping to gain a melodic utterance that can match any trap bounce or electric style Aabo musters. Thus, they fulfill a truth we all learn; there is always “someone” out there for us. From a friend to a love or, in their case, a fellow creative mind, we all have someone who speaks our spiritual language or catches our vibe better than anyone.
