J.Cole 这个名字各位应该都不陌生吧?这位出生于 1985 年,来自东岸的饶舌歌手在 2007 年发佈第一张混音带《The Come Up》后短短 5 年,便获得了葛莱美「最佳新人奖」,更于 2014 年更以《Power Trip featuring Miguel》一曲拿下葛莱美「最佳嘻哈合作曲」奖项,其他包括 MTV 音乐奖、世界音乐奖、美国音乐奖也拿过数次,由此可见其才华之高。而这回 J.Cole 带来的《4 Your Eyez Only》是其个人睽违两年的最新录音室专辑。(Via overdope)
4 Your Eyez Only plunges deep into J. Cole’s soul. You can clearly hear it in his voice—pleading, testifying, on the verge of cracking. At center stage with no featured guests, the North Carolina rapper speaks out on social ills, black lives, and doing the right thing in a world of wrong. The music is settled, filled with jazz touches and strings, allowing the words to become the focus. “Neighbors” and “Change” examine imbalances and tension affecting communities of color. “Foldin Clothes” shows that even benign acts can be a source of joy. The two-part suite “She’s Mine” may be the most important songs he’s written, as Cole finds himself overcome by a strange feeling: hope.
