Review
"Free Wired" by Far East Movement is a kaleidoscope of sound, painting with bold strokes of electronic, hip-hop, and pop. Released on October 12, 2010, and produced by a dynamic range of talent like Stereotypes and The Cataracs, it embodies the group’s adventurous and genre-blending spirit. Their third album and punctual major label debut breaks conventional barriers with its innovative synthesis of music styles, making a vibrant mark on the music scene of its era. It's clear they poured creativity into constructing tracks that excite and ignite the senses.
Spotlighting this album would be remiss without tipping hats to two of its standout singles. "Like a G6," with its infectious beat and catchy melody, soared to number one on the Billboard Hot 100, propelled by Dev’s thumping vocals and The Cataracs’ electric production. Then there's "Rocketeer," featuring Ryan Tedder, molding electronic beats with emotive lyrics, which lifts listeners to higher emotional altitudes. Guest artists such as Keri Hilson and Mohombi only add to this environ of eclecticism with their distinctive flair. Through tracks like "Girls On the Dance Floor" and "So What?", the album doesn’t just entertain—it launches you into a rhythmic escapade through buzzing beats and clever collaborations. - Roman
