Review |
|---|
Collaborations with Rhythm & Sound and other producers of electronic music as well as his own reggae releases made Paul St Hilaire known under the name Tikiman. To avoid finally all claims on trademarks, Tikiman will release and perform in future only under his given name. With 'Unspecified' he now publishes on his label False Tuned the first album produced by himself. One can hear in this record, that St. Hilaire - who comes from the Caribbean island Dominica and not from Jamaica - has passed a process of artistic maturity. Electronic means of production as well as analog instruments are present, but in the centre there are St. Hilaire's sometimes enigmatic and relaxed, sometimes vigorous and vibrant tracks and his multilayered way of singing. At many points St. Hilaire's voice resembles the one of the young Bob Marley, and also Marley's linking of political statements and poetry turns up here. Well done - that's all you can say: 'Unspecified's' urban sound enriched with Caribbean echoes keeps on growing even after repeated listening. Paul's great soulful roots reggae inspired debut album, CD only - Tip!
