Faithless are back!

 

The most anticipated return from UK electronic music act is Faithless. One of those electronic groups born of the 90s Rave Move in consequence. Five years ago they left us a Remixed LP called Faithless 2.0. Now we are waiting to hear "All Blessed" (which is out now! Tracklist reviewed below):


This is not a typical house track. The lyrics contains a lot of social disorder. Because "poetry" means "to be drunk on life", to be positive about something. Search for love and hope after all. You can write your own story and make it possible. Everything can lean on your own understanding if you trust in you. Your faith gives you strength. It may be a rainy day but remember the light inside yo can inspire others because the destiny is within us. The pencil is our heart and the paper is our brain, which is empty since the day one. We all are poets indeed.

Continuously mixed with Breaks' vocals. In addition to the track that opens the album I have to say that 

This track is the less interesting of all of them. The pad is (just adding a comfy ) and the hi hats are just sommonly useless (all the time). And I'm going to do not a chat about the vocal. Remaining of all pre-EDM warmy synths with sweety vocals back to 2009. The collaborations between DeadMau5 & Kaskade in "Move For Me" and "I Remember" are both good examples.

This track consists in a drum n´ electrifying bass. Not as bad as the end, where the BPMs are developed with a "slow motion" rhythm, real glimpsy synths and jinks lyrics about a positive message. LSK & Suki Breaks are real digital poets though. Verified hit

The very first single out! And now we know why. It brights among the rest 11 tracks. The groovy bass. The unhinged vocal. The fat kick. 4x4 rhythm and an accordingly built-up construction. Next massive hit in UK clubs for sure! Well, when they reopen again... 

Religiously composed. First built-up with no EDM drop is a method that leaving us to watch the geese. Rolling down the cymbals. Ending with a distant pad.

The first 30 seconds of this music piece sets me back to 2009 - weirdo electronic bass were patterns - when Tiga's Mind Dimension or Fedde Le Grand's Let Me Think About It were massive hits in US. Though the last 25 seconds are just a copy of The Chemical Brothers' "". Anyway this is good one. And it talks about accepting all kinds of "religion or race, no matter what". Necessary words these days.

This one is my favourite. The pad embraces yourself calmly. Softy melody ...

Radio friendly track. Just for pop-posers with a punch of love potion. 

Done in perfect match for house music club-goers. I'm in love with this! No vocal recognized. What a pity to do not know the voice you felt in love with mate. The first minute built-up is just amazing! And what to say about the melody. It lift my spirit up! Such a emotion you can never

We all know what it means to have to Jazzie B into the vocals production. An infectious soulful house directly leaded to the quick. This track is so balearic. The beats move you directly to a desert beach. Press play. Turn off the light mate. And let yourself go into the music! 

The fifth and last collaboration with Suli Breaks is a track managed to those hip-hop heart lovers - full of needed words of love - despite 


Thank God for Faithless' comeback!!!

The music industry was you waiting for such a long time

Now we are witnessing the reborn of a death music group and their adaption to the decade that begins now. Full of joy though.

The hits of their career were "Salva Mea" and "Insomnia". Both were #1 US Dance Chart in 1995. Three years later "God Is A Dj" smashed the record, yet another hit for the electronic trio based in London (Maxi Jazz, Sister Bliss & Rollo)
