I’m a romantic at heart so any sort of loved up song like this will make me swoon. On the other hand, the following song, “BUCKET” makes me swoon in a whole different way. Ambré captures the art of seduction in her sultry vocals. “ART OF SEDUCTION” has a comforting beat with a soothing lyrical delivery from Ab-Soul. Herberts’s constant vulnerability allows the album to soak in and mesh with your deepest, most honest feelings.Įvery song makes its own impact in different ways. Now, when “DO BETTER” came on something took over me and it was a cathartic release of self-induced anxieties based on my insecurities. I’m a sucker for these kinds of soulful additions on a rappers project and I’m a sucker for the beat on “GOODMAN” for that reason. This is a very personal album, an offering of a part of himself to his fans. That whole run of songs is worth playing over and over again. It’s in the same vein as “FOMF,” which has a visually striking video to accompany the hard-hitting track. It sets the tone for the next track, “HOLLANDAISE,” to come in and smack the listener across the face with its bold lyrics and catchy composition. “NO REPORT CARD” is one of my favorite tracks on the album because it just feels so light and fun with a smooth delivery from Ab-Soul. Straight from the beginning, “MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE.” gives you both the smooth poetic flow balanced beautifully with the rougher, more chaotic deliveries and production. Right off the bat, the album has grandma’s blessing in the beginning with a message of her praying for Herbert on the opening track. He self-titled his album, not after his stage name, but his real name, HERBERT. Even though he’s always inherently been himself through his music, this album he laid it all out on the table. Now that we’re closing out the year, we finally get the full project. Throughout the past year we’ve seen him release a few songs. It’s been six years since we’ve seen an album from Ab-Soul.
