Album Review: Paul Epworth Has Shipped Me Off On “Voyager”

Excuse me as I exit my spaceship to do this review. Paul Epworth’s new album, Voyager, is SO GOOD! It is trance funkadelia that could send the house music scene to another planet, which might not be a bad idea right now. Voyager brings the club scene to your headphones, and makes you long for the days of the sweaty air and over-priced beer you would consume in a hovel known as “nightlife.”

Voyager is one of those albums that instantly has you moving. You cannot hear one track without tapping a toe and jigging a finger. Thus, it comes at a time people miss and wish they could feel a better rhythm in their life. Many artists are trying to attain what Paul Epworth does in Voyager.  With features abound, Paul’s soundscapes make Ty Dolla Sign and Vince Staples sound like they are landing on earth for the first time: purely cosmic. Meanwhile, artists like, iSHMAEL and Bibi Bourelly have you landing on a star. The space-fantasy theme allows you to embrace that this album is asking to you to dance your way out of these globally, rough times.

Paul Epworth – Mars & Venus (Visualiser) ft. Vince Staples, ISHMAEL, Elle Yaya

Escapism should be the E of the EDM world. Electronic world is meant to electrify people enough to live their present like a dream rather than dream of being present. With every sound and effect emulating a galactic journey, this album is nothing short of phenomenal. From “Mars & Venus” to ‘Time & Space” or the “The Eternal Now,” the record is makes you stop, listen, and fantasize, which might be foreign feelings to people right now but, one day, the club scene will be lit again.
