RJD2 – Dame Fortune
The new studio album from RJD2, Dame Fortune, continues the sonic exploration
that was started 14 years ago his seminal debut Deadringer. An entirely
self-produced and engineered affair, longtime vocal collaborators appear here in
the form of Blueprint, Son Little (aka
Aaron Livingston, the other half of the Icebird duo), Phonte Coleman and Jordan
Brown, along with newcomer Josh Krajcik (runner up on the 2011 season of
X-Factor).
Always soulful, perpetually psychedelic, this album has found the lost threads connecting Aloe Blacc, Tangerine Dream, and King Crimson. From the jagged, angular deconstruction of “A New Theory” and “The Sheboygan Left”, to the poignant elegance of “Peace Of What” and “We Come Alive”, Dame Fortune further cements RJD2 as a force to be reckoned with behind the boards
