EYEDEA - HERE FOR YOU

IT TOOK AWHILE...........

...BUT ALTHOUGH I WAS ENJOYING THIS ALBUM FROM ITS FIRST LISTEN, IT IS ONLY IN THE LAST MONTH THAT IT HAS BEGUN TO BE A NAME IN MY HEAD WHENEVER I SCROLL DOWN THE FORMIDABLE LIST OF ALBUMS WHAT HAVE COLLECTED THEMSELVES IN MY MEDIA LIBRARY... IT ISN'T DIFFICULT TO SEE WHY. LYRICALLY, EYEDEA (OR OLIVER HART, AS HE PRESENTS HIMSELF IN THIS MORE SELF-REFLECTIVE RECORD) IS DIFFICULT TO FAULT, APART FROM HIS PRINCIPLE SUBJECT MATTER. THIS, THE FIRST ALBUM THAT I HAD NOTICED HIM MOVE AWAY FROM BATTLE RAPS AND GENERAL COMPETITIVE CULTURE WE COMMONLY RELATE WITH RAP MUSIC, AND DELVE DEEPER INTO REAL SONG CONCEPTS, GENUINE IDEAS AND MORE OF AN ARTISTIC APPROACH TO SONGWRITING. THIS PROGRESSION IS ENCAPSULATED IN THIS, MY CHOICE SELECTION, IN WHICH IT IS EASY TO THINK OF HOW THE LAST EYEDEA & ABLITIES RECORD "BY THE THROAT" WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN SO PROFOUND AND EMOTIONALLY CHARGED, WITHOUT THE HONESTY AND FEELING HE FINDS IN HIMSELF HERE...
