Review

Nujabes' "Modal Soul" is like a decadent jazz cocktail with a hip-hop twist, shaken up just right. Dropped in 2005, it's this enchanting symphony of smooth, jazzy rhythms blended with head-bopping beats that effortlessly sweeps you off your feet and into a blissful soundscape. This sophomore full-length studio album turned out to be a cornerstone of instrumental hip-hop, weaving a magical fabric that still charms listeners today.

Now, the guest list on this musical soiree is nothing short of fabulous, featuring brilliant collaborations with the likes of Cise Starr, Akin of CYNE, Terry Callier, Shing02, Substantial, Pase Rock, Apani B, and Uyama Hiroto. Each of the 14 tracks is a gem that showcases Nujabes' impeccable production finesse and taste for the eclectic. From the serene and silky vibes of "Feather" to the invigorating groove of "Luv (Sic.) Part 3," this album is an auditory odyssey that navigates smoothly through tranquil and energetic realms. If you're even remotely curious about venturing into instrumental hip-hop, "Modal Soul" is a rite of passage you won't want to miss! - Clementine
