Album Review
The self-titled debut album from Supreme Beings of Leisure fuses sounds from the group's diverse heritage — which includes Japan, Puerto Rico, Ireland, India, Iran, and the Dominican Republic — with deft programming and accessible songwriting. The result is a very smooth collection of trip-hop-based pop songs with global touches, not unlike a multi-culti Morcheeba album. Swooning strings and sitars weave their way through most of the album's 11 songs, including "Golddigger," which recalls '60s spy-movie themes, and "Never the Same" (heard on the TV commercial for the Johnnie Walker Black Label whiskey) and "Last Girl on Earth," which showcase Geri Soriano-Lightwood's versatile, seductive vocals. The breakbeat-driven "Ain't Got Nothin'" and "Sublime" pick up the pace with a nod to drum'n'bass, while "Strangelove Addiction"'s club-friendly rhythm and lilting, Eastern-inspired melody make it the most accessible track on the album. Though many of the styles on Supreme Beings of Leisure have been done before, the group does a good job of updating the basic trip-hop sound enough to keep it fresh and enjoyable.
Customer Reviews
4 star album, but not what i expected...
I owned the song Under The Gun, which interested me enough that i bought a couple more tracks by SBOL such as "Strangelove Addiction" but i tell you what, iTunes has done this to me before where they play a part of the song as the sample but the song actually sounds like something TOTALLY different. Dont get me wrong, the album is very lilting and euro-pop sounding (it tends to sound alot like OLD garbage, Dido, and club/dance mix all rolled into one) which is cool, but again, from the sample of the song - NOT what i expected and im actually angry about that. ohwell....good album, but most of the songs are as amalgamous as the main review states.
From start to finish...
This is one of those rare albums that require you to merely press play on your stereo. With a jazzy trip-hop style akin to Portishead and Morcheeba, Supreme Beings of Leisure make a rock solid debut. No song needs to be (or should be) passed over, as each provides an integral, ecclectic piece to this puzzle. It's definately worth your listen.
Not my cuppa tea but good none the less!
I heard the song neverthe same n some alchol commercial and i liked it its very good for parties when you're goin for a chilled out atmosphere
