Review

'So... How's Your Girl?' by Handsome Boy Modeling School paints a mesmerizing kaleidoscope of sounds that dance across the audio spectrum like splashes of vibrant watercolors. The 1999 collaboration between Prince Paul and Dan the Automator weaves together threads of hip-hop, jazz, rock, and electronic textures into a tapestry that shifts and shimmers with each track. When Del tha Funkee Homosapien, Róisín Murphy, and Sean Lennon add their distinctive voices to the mix, they bring new hues to an already rich palette, creating moments that pulse with crimson energy or float in cool blue tones.

The album's playful irreverence comes through in technicolor on tracks like 'Look at This Face (Oh My God They're Gorgeous)' and 'Modeling Sucks,' where humor splashes across the canvas like neon accents. Meanwhile, 'Rock n' Roll (Could Never Hip Hop Like This)' and 'Holy Calamity (Bear Witness II)' create bold, rhythmic strokes of turntablism against a backdrop of infectious beats. The more melodic moments in 'The Truth' and 'Sunshine' offer softer, golden-hued interludes that showcase the duo's remarkable range. This groundbreaking album continues to influence alternative hip-hop with its innovative approach to production and its fearless blending of sonic colors. - Reid
