Review

"Play" by Moby is the kind of album that sneakily finds its way into your life and, before you know it, you're hearing it everywhere. Released in 1999, this gem almost felt like a Hail Mary from Moby, who thought he might be heading back to school after the struggle that was "Animal Rights." Imagine creating something in your home studio in Manhattan, merging the essence of electronica with soulful samples of blues and roots music, only to see it start slow in sales. But then, "Play" did a 180—thanks to its tracks popping up on everything from commercials to our favorite TV shows, it became an electronic beat bible for the masses.

Not only did "Play" redefine the game by setting a trend of licensing music to various media (which was pretty groundbreaking back then), it also crossed genre lines with impressive agility. Picture a kaleidoscope of gospel, techno, and a dash of hip hop all rolled into one. The cultural tidal wave it created was undeniable. Selling over 12 million copies, it climbed the charts and claimed the throne as the best-selling electronica album ever. From its critical acclaim to its lasting influence on artists far and wide, Moby's "Play" didn't just make waves—it changed the tide of the music industry as we know it. - Ava
