Speakerboxxx / The Love Below

September 23, 2003 · BMG

Find on Amazon

A colossal, double-sided fracture splits the partnership into two distinct solo visions, presenting a sprawling catalog of hyper-charged southern club music on one side and whimsical, genre-blurring pop-soul on the other.

The first half delivers a muscular, brass-heavy parade of high-speed rhythm, while the second half plunges into a pastel-colored dreamscape of acoustic guitars and eccentric, sung-spoken vulnerability.

Moments Worth Listening For
28Hey Ya!The acoustic guitar strums and handclaps on 'Hey Ya!' drive an upbeat pop melody that masks a deeply melancholic lyric about relationship decay.
02GhettoMusickA hyper-fast electronic pulse and operatic vocal samples collide on 'GhettoMusick', pushing the tempo into frantic club territory.
