Bali Lounge 2





Here it is, the album we all are waiting for! Bali Lounge yang terkenal bgt dgn lagunya Something's Wrong, dan melejitkan Tompi, kini hadir lagi. Kali ini Tompi ga ikutan, tapi tidak mengurangi hebatnya album ini. Malah kalo gw bilang, album ini jauh lebih hebat dan variatif. Masih merupakan grup lintas dunia dengan eksplorasi ethnical keren, dibawah komando om Lewis Prasagam. Ada banyak bunyi2an etnik disini,tapi dalam versi yang ga ribet, dan pasti masih dapat dinikmati yang awam jazz sekalipun. Malah lagu terakhir, "Jimbaran Jive", sounds like a Beyonce's typical songs, very bootylicious in the taste of jazz. "Get Happy" nya jg ringan n groovy, mirip2 Bad Day nya Daniel Powter, pasti bakal banyak yg suka. Lagu "Cukup Tak Mengapa", gw yakin bakal jadi hits bentar lagi. Suaranya Irsa Destiwi yg mirip Sheila Madjid bikin lagu ini paling melodis, renyah, lembut dan nikmat buat didengerin berulang2. Pengen yg ethnical? main2 di "Mean Curry", "Free'' atau "Samba Sunda" (Ada Jalu disini, mantan SimakDialog). This is like a crossover between smooth and fusion, so buat yg ga suka fusion gw garansi masih bisa nikmatin album ini. Masuk buat semua kalangan, dan jelas gw rekomen. Ini rip CD ori lowh.. bening, jernih, 192 kbps. So let's give a big applause to the 2nd album of Bali Lounge.
