Brooklyn, NY. (Top40 Charts/ Worderer Official Website) -
Fresh off his brow-raising album 'I Represent!!',The Worderer re-emerges with his latest project 'The Journey'. Decidedly more musically focused,'The Journey' sees a wholesale leaning towards R&B/hip hop,making it a more commercially viable entity than it's predecessor,and with his enduring partnership with Queens,New York producer Quixotic proving to be one of undoubted fertility,this West Indian talent is clearly more formidable than ever.
The Worderer wastes no time with an intro that beckons the listener to be a part of his journey.This drops into the title track itself,an excellent identity song especially for the first time listener intrigued by The Worderer's peculiar accent and flow.Such intrigue is smoothly assuaged as one is taken through a vividly detailed tour of his roots and culture with lines like..'I'm from Barbados, that's in the West Indies, we got the tropical breeze and the hot honies'...'I used to play cricket and pitch marbles for fun'...'on the Golden Rock block is where I started my dream'.
The West Indian vocal sits snugly on top of the hip hop grooves and is comfortable on the ear.However,the flow really takes off on the very slick and catchy R&B hip-hop production of 'Droppin'Heat'. Quixotic, arguably one of the best kept secrets in the mecca of hip-hop producers, whips up a clever sampling of some old Diana Ross and Marvin Gaye while The Worderer locks in with his unique brand of delivery.Lines like'...mistakes never made the man and shouldn't break the man,to make this work I had to work a plan,stay focused and forget the grands,that's why I connect with the fans...' are bound to resonate well with even the most simplistic of listeners.
'Step to me' has stuck with the classic 4/4 flow but with such a driving track and groovy hook,this one could well receive heavy club rotation.'Grouch House' injects some quirky comic relief with some graphic story telling in a purposefully old school flavor.
All said,'The Journey' is quite compellingly rendered and brimming with personality.This is truly Worderer domain and he seems to take special joy in flaunting it.
'The Journey' is now available at CDBaby.com and Amazon.com.
