Shut Up And Dance Album - K3vin Envoy's Playground
During the summer of 2017, NY DJ and producer K3vin Envoy began to to show that he wasn’tcontent to be summed up so simply as an artist. When he introduced “website Playground”, not only did he reveal his capabilities as a multi-instrumentalist to the planet in a way, he foreshadowed what was to come on his debut album.
Now, “Playground” has arrived, plus it exceeds all expectations. Taking risks that are innovative can definitely backfire. Were K3vin Envoy not the caliber of musician he’sproven himself to be, the manifold types incorporated into each monitor of “Playground”could have sounded as disconnected from one another as the tunes on Avicii’s sophomore album, Testimonies. Nonetheless, sufficient stylistic threads weave each of the tracks together in this way that even though plenty of them can’t be categorized as just Progressive House. Sense is made by the Album In many ways, “Playground” provides electronic music artists tasked with navigating the post-EDM landscape a roadmap of kinds. It gracefully pays respect to the influences at its foundation while simultaneously refusing to stick to to the restrictive boundaries of genres, integrating instrumentals and designs with such taste that every track of the album seems like just like the logical next step in the innovative journey of an accurate master mind. For that matter, K3vin Envoy surprises the listened with “Swinging”, it’s perhaps not a standard house track design. Tracks like “Wut Makes U Tik”,”Tell Me The Trust” and “Playground” account for enough of the DJ/producer’s signature design that he doesn’t appear flat-out ashamed of his roots.
“Get Lifted”, “Say Yes” and “For U” widen Envoy’s stylistic variety further. For that matter, of all tracks on “Playground”, the one most likely to find its way into the sets of the the main stream EDM artists with whom K3vin Envoy shares so many levels is his album “Playground”. Shimmering synth work occur if you ask me as being stylistically more comparable to progressive house than lots of surprises.
Speaking of which, “Tell Me The Truth” makes an expected and fitting look on the effort. Envoy’s verses exude a tenderness that completely accompanied the tracksebb and flow between melancholy and playful melodies. Still, the bold experiments are where the album shines. “Swinging” which K3vin Envoy released a month early, opens up an ethereal piano interlude joins it with understated synth melodies. “Swinging” also introduces jazz-reminiscent factors which you mightn't expect to listen to in the album of an artist whose title frequents major EDM festival line-ups.
The final monitor, “Prime” makes for a fitting near. K3vin Envoy previewed its wistful piano melody in this album which he uploaded to his Facebook page a week ago its uncooked uplifting e motion stays with you long subsequent to the song ends.
The song “Playground” reminds the listener what it was that put K3vin Envoy on the map to begin with. Having been invited to perform at the Full-Moon Music Festival, it almost came to prophesy his job arc over the span of the festival season that will follow while presenting a distinctly more upbeat incarnation of his house style.
K3vin Envoy makes his intentions known from the album intro, “Wut Makes U Tik” and development in to ambient melodic elements identified in “Let’s Kiss” that usher in a meandering musical progression with all the light hearted tones of house ethos to a point.
