Intersuoni, 2022
8/10
The unclassifiable duo C’mon Tigre return with their 3rd album, where sounds from across the globe, including jazz, funk and hip-hop, to name a few, are present and appreciated.
“Deserving My Devotion” starts the listen with warm, Eastern influences in the meticulous string manipulation, and “Twist Into Any Shape” follows with playful beats, cultured singing and a club friendly appeal that’s quite soulful.
Further on, “Automatic Ctrl” incorporates some dense moments amid the soft melodies and a mysterious version of eletro-pop, while “No One You Know” recruits Xenia Rubinos’ powerful pipes for the lush and dreamy moment of sublime beauty.
Approaching the end, “Flowers In My Spoon” features Mick Jenkins’ rapping skills across the raw and fluid album highlight, and “Sleeping Beauty” exits the listen with Colin Stetson’s contributions on the dance floor ready buzzing that’s as infectious as it is original.
A truly unique listen that’s highly unpredictable and creative, there isn’t a moment here that’s not worth exploring repeatedly.
