Comment:
Paris, France-based artist Andrea`s (or AndreaLo) 7-track issue
involves 2 original compositions and 5 remixes of a track, Work
the Middle. With regard to the song titles and some voluptuous
sighs within it this does have implicit suggestions at oral sex (Work
the Middle, Going Down) and I guess the remixes depict a
stage when a human being is inflected with a human papilloma virus
and prone to different types of head and neck cancer. If to let that
black humour aside I have to admit I like it. The album I mean, of
course. I enjoy it though I am quite suspicious about the so-called
design pop (which often embraces post-dubstep vibes within it) being
very predominant today. You know one could produce it in his/her
cellphone very easily and mostly is excessively polished and
artificial. At times it lacks soul and spirit. Fortunately this case
is mostly spirited and enjoyable to live up to one`s expectations.
One is sure Andrea is indifferent toward post-dubstep neither
substantially nor formally (at Bandcamp you can find out his version
of James Blake`s I Never Learnt To
Share). Work the Middle is remixed by such
artists/producers as Kodak To Graph, Kyson, Real, Grobbie, and
Splinter. The issue is a bit in the discography of Bad Panda.
