Like the cosmic soul it emulates, the atmosphere is lush, full of period ambiance worthy of a high-end television set.” – Pitchfork The album’s production is majestic, aiming squarely for the cosmos depicted on its striking cover artwork. In paying homage to heroes, he even hits upon some of the genuine emotional connection that has often been missing from his music. “His recently released “Awaken, My Love!” is his hardest left turn yet, ditching rap wholesale in favor of funk worship, and the result is his most enjoyable project to date.
