Hello and welcome back.
 
This weeks blog features
 
REDEYE FEENIX
A Hull based Musician ..
***So to the intro ***
Let's start with what I know about the album and Redeye's music.
I hadn't heard anything till this album.
Visually, the cover is expressive and dark.
Featuring Graffiti well known with Hull's scene.
For hire and viewings

***To the music***
The sound is deep in Hull's tone.
You'll know when you hear it, there's no confusion it runs through the album and plays well.
You'll see the streets in your mind if you close your eyes.
 
Take track six for example
It will make you think of Dre and Snoop in an old American car.
In a video from the early 90's hip hop/rap video cruising in the sunshine.Ain't nothing wrong with an old school track nor an old school trip.
 
Heavy deep beats, almost James Brown and Prince with a Jazz tone in track thirteen.
It's enough to make you get up, dust it off and dance.
I liked that one the most, it won't get old.
I need to add this to my mp3 player so it can be on repeat constantly.
 
I would love to Redeye do some work with
COUNTING COINS
with their Ska and trumpets it would be an insane mix.
It's just an idea though guys.
 
 
Each track is very different you'll hear a deep, velvet like woman's voice (track four)
Featuring Hull's very own Rebecca Robyns
Known for her music and beautifully shot photography.
 
I can say this, it's not what I was expecting.
It made me think of the early MTV that I watched and the De La Soul moments I had as a kid.
Take yourself on a trip to my childhood
De La Soul at their finest!
 
I am not saying the album sounds like them, I am saying that's the nostalgic feeling it gives me.
Then it got to track eleven and a sound of A tripe called quest vibe.It's taking me right back!
Here more here
 
Laid back, great tracks and that feeling you're hearing something that'll take you back and make you feel good.
 
I played it loud, my poor neighbours endured hours of me playing the album over and over.
I got a feeling, an emotion it's Hull the tracks are relevant, honest and on ground level.
 
I have seen Chappo time to time pop up, he's featuring on track seven.
Mad world is a honest realisation of the brutal truths of Hull and our cities, society and current raw feelings.
Well played guys, lyrically it's speaking out to a generations who need to know more.
***More on Chappo below**
CHAPPO
Had to add this just for the fun of it
 
 
I wanted to add these finally it's the feel I am getting from being a Hull girl through and through.
Knowing the city, the feel of the album you'll see what I am saying and hear the beauty they all make together.
