A week from now, “Playin' Me” will come out, the first album by British producer and vocalist Cooly G. After a first listen, the effort sounds like a balanced exercise, with a first part dominated by the swampy atmospheres of, for example, “Come Into My Room”, “Landscapes”, and “Tryin”, and a second part that is more rhythmical. As Hyperdub had already said, the Briton sounds eclectic; combining the reggae of “Sunshine” with the neo-soul of “He Said I Said” and “Landcscapes”, without forgetting about the UK funky, on “It's Serious”. Another highlight is her rendition of Coldplay's “Trouble”, drenched in jungle rhythms.
Listen to the entire album after the jump, it will be out on 17th July.
