The 20/20 Experience

March 15, 2013 · RCA

Find on Amazon

Lush, orchestral neo-soul and expansive, seven-minute arrangements transform the pop album into a patient, late-night suite. The music moves with an elastic sense of time, trading the urgent tempos of the dance floor for velvet-lined grooves that stretch out to let the brass, strings, and layered vocal harmonies breathe.

This is a confident, candlelit environment where the songs are treated as architectural spaces rather than quick radio commodities.

Moments Worth Listening For
09MirrorsThe final three minutes of 'Mirrors' shift into a completely different sonic territory, stripping down to a looped, layered vocal chant.
08Let the Groove Get InA polyrhythmic, brass-heavy groove drives 'Let the Groove Get In', building a dense, celebratory wall of percussion.
10Blue Ocean FloorThe album closer 'Blue Ocean Floor' abandons the rhythmic momentum of the record for a slow, ambient, underwater atmosphere.
