It starts in the morning with “Alarmed,” that sounds like if Shuggie Otis did a psychedelic eye-opening cover of Nas’ “Shootouts.” It rolls through “Right Side of the Bed,” with its glitter-gold sax lines, loose drums, and sunshine-slanting-through-the-blinds keyboards.
The Odd Tape revolves around the rhythms of the artist’s daily life.
The Odd Tape showcases the range of a composer bending hip-hop, soul, and jazz into singular form, tapping into that same emotional Fort Knox that animates all wordless choruses. The Odd Tape is technically the former-there are no vocals-but if you call this an instrumental album, you might as well say the same about Bitches Brew.Īfter a decade making music, the Prince Georges, Md.-raised and Brooklyn-based has transcended influences, comparisons and genre. But don’t mistake the Odd Tape for the noise of birds chirping, idle chatter, or car alarms it’s that internal soul-jazz reverberating at the back of your brain.įor the last decade, the Mello Music Group artist has alternated between instrumental albums, full-length rap records, and his role as one-third of Diamond District. Both a rapper chronicling the perils and joys of ordinary existence, and a virtuosic producer attuned to the vibrations of how life actually sounds. Oddisee is an everyman with extraordinary talent. < a href=""> The Odd Tape by Oddisee< /a>
