Heaven / Gold, Cleo Sol (2023)

At this point, it would be severely inadvisable – economically-speaking, at least – for Cleo Sol to change anything up in her sound, at all. And she doesn’t do so on either of these new releases, which is no doubt marvellous news to her many very trendy fans. For me, however, I’m still left unimpacted; this sort of stuff sails past, pleasant but unobtrusive and unnoticeable. Of the two, Gold – with its added rhythmic complexity and gentler prowess – edges.

Pick(s): ‘Old Friends’, ‘Reason’

FKJ - V I N C E N T

(Neo-Soul, Alternative R&B, Nu-Jazz)

Vincent Fenton's second album is dreamier than ever, leaning towards a sweeter and warmer sound compared to the snappy electronic beats and jazz crossovers of his debut. V I N C E N T is Fenton fully coming into his own as an artist, subduing the sound he cultivated on his debut and bringing out the best in him as an instrumentalist.

☆☆☆☆

One of the pioneers for French neo-soul and electronica, Vincent Fenton's career has been able to appeal to both mainstream folks looking for some classy background music and those searching for the next groundbreaking artist. His work under the FKJ moniker has resulted in some of the biggest songs to come from the Paris soul and jazz world in years, his Roche Musique debut French Kiwi Juice introducing the world to his jazz-inflected brand of French House, pop and electronica that became an abundant source of energy in the early spring of 2017 when it released. Now, with a Mom + Pop label deal and access to more time, more instruments and more musicians, his sophomore album V I N C E N T narcotize his sound with thick sub-bass, psychedelic guitars, and the dreamier sides of soul to make for his most relaxed and enjoyable album to date. Fenton paces himself more than ever here, and it pays off greatly. All the calling cards of Fenton's sound are still here - his pristine mixes filled to the brim without being overwhelming; the touches of his saxophone, guitar, and piano that always get thrown into a song; the relaxed beats that still have enough oomph to get you moving in time with them - but V I N C E N T sees him let up on the gas pedal a bit to see the world around him. This could easily be explained as the kind of slowdown that's occurred with many artists throughout the pandemic, but Fenton's music doesn't feel stifled by it at all. Rather, he sounds better than ever, able to open up the more atmospheric side of his sound hinted at in older projects like his 2018 Just Piano EP and bring it into his album experiences, too. The trippy side of alternative R&B his music lies on helps greatly in this effort, the Little Dragon assisted highlight Can't Stop lavishly decorated with shimmering guitars and plush synthesizers as Fenton and Yukimi Nagano's voices melt around a honey-thick bassline and soft percussion, and the masterful Different Masks for Different Days blends Fenton's warm saxophone tone around a lurching downtempo groove and trickling piano lines that prove he's just as charismatic when things are as dark as a candlelit room. He picks up the energy on occasion to help ensure the album doesn't become too mushy, The Mission pulling out a fun call-and-response between his guitar improvisations and his singing and the massive Once Again I Close My Eyes the closest he's ever gotten to a gospel tune if it was dipped in liquid gold, but V I N C E N T is by and large a relaxed experience that soothes more than anything else. Fenton never tries to make it be anything but. It's that consistency that makes V I N C E N T such an effective album. Sure, its songs aren't always the most exciting, but there's something so serene about how his falsetto swells around wah-pedal guitars on New Life or how the warped strings wrap around soulful piano improv on the watery opening track Way Out that makes the album's quaint sound just as engaging as any other of the great albums to release this year. It's a subdued beauty, but that doesn't mean the quality of the music is hidden in any way, the delightful slow-burn Once I Close My Eyes making for one of the most romantic songs to come out this entire year and the mellow funk of A Moment of Mystery with Toro y Moi a sweet little respite after the magical Different Masks for Different Days that preceded it. Fenton knows that making soft music doesn't mean it all has to congeal, taking different forms of it from downtempo to atmospheric electronic to intimate jazz and finding ways for them to all coexist within V I N C E N T. It's incredible how well he's able to make it happen. It's an album best experienced in one sitting and without stops, letting yourself luxuriate in its warm production and kaleidoscopically-dense instrumentation that only gets better with time. V I N C E N T is a low-risk, high-reward album for Fenton that only asks you to drink down the music like midnight wine and notice all the little things that make it taste so good.  Music as smooth and approachable as this could never fail, and through having Fenton's musical knowledge and ear for harmonies, V I N C E N T ends up not only standing out from the crowd, but making a peak in Fenton's discography thus far that shows him at his most artistically expansive and musically impressive. He's always been a fantastic musician, and V I N C E N T shows what he can do even when the lights are off, his music a torch in the dark directing you towards the moonlit café Fenton's music has built here. Sure, V I N C E N T might not be the wildest listen out there, but it doesn't need to be - Fenton makes these dreamy nu-jazz tunes more than worth your while.
