Franky Wah – The Revival, Vol. 2

Review

Franky Wah's "The Revival, Vol. 2" rockets listeners into a club cosmos where pounding basslines and galactic synths orbit around 14 immersive tracks. His production draws patterns in the night sky, weaving together atmospheric layers with throbbing rhythms that send listeners spiraling across dancefloors lightyears away. The meteor shower energy of “Too Far to Turn Back” and “The Province” demonstrates his uncanny ability to shape tension and release into an exhilarating, interstellar groove.

As the album spins on, tracks like “Closer to My Dreams” and “Wrong for Me” sprinkle a bit of human gravity into all that cosmic motion, allowing introspective emotion to gently collide with the driving beat. Even though the journey clocks in at a robust 72 minutes and drifts close to familiar orbits at times, Wah stirs the nebula with evolving textures and multifaceted percussion, ensuring the voyage is anything but static. This pulsating suite cements Wah as a bold cartographer of electronic universes, inviting us to get lost and found beneath a neon-lit sky. - Nova
