Music For Dance Album - K3vin Envoy's Playground
Throughout the summer of 2017, NY DJ and producer K3vin Envoy began to demonstrate that he wasn’tcontent to be summed up so simply as an artist. When he released “Playground”, not only did he reveal his abilities as a multi instrumentalist to the globe in a way, he foreshadowed what was to come-on his debut album.
Now, “Playground” has arrived, plus it exceeds all expectations. Taking hazards that are innovative can certainly backfire. Were K3vin Envoy not the caliber of musician he’sproven himself to be, the manifold types integrated into each monitor of “Playground”could have sounded as disconnected from one another as the tracks on Avicii’s sophomore album, Testimonies. Nonetheless, sufficient stylistic threads weave each of the tracks together in this way that although plenty of them can’t be categorized as just Progressive House. Sense is made by the Album K3vin Envoy makes his intentions known from the album intro, “Wut Makes U Tik” and development into ambient melodic components found in “Let’s Kiss” that usher in a meandering musical progression together with the light hearted tones of dance ethos to some extent. The track “Playground” reminds the listener what it was that put K3vin Envoy on the map to start with. Having been invited to perform at the Full Moon Music Festival, it almost came to prophesy his job arc within the course while presenting a more upbeat incarnation of his progressive house style of the festival season that might follow.

Envoy’s verses exude a tenderness that perfectly accompanied the track’s ebb and flow between melancholy and playful melodies. The daring 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 may not expect to hear in the album of an artist whose name frequents key EDM festival line-ups.
For the matter, K3vin Envoy surprises the listened with “Swinging”, it’s perhaps not a typical home track style. Tracks like “Wut Makes U Tik”, “Tell Me The Truth”, and “Playground” take into account enough of the DJ/producer’s signature type that he doesn’tseem flat-out ashamed of his roots.
“Get Lifted”, “Say Yes” and “For U” widen Envoy’s stylistic variety even further. For the matter, of all tracks on “Playground”, the one most likely to find its way into the sets of the the mainstream EDM artists with whom K3vin Envoy shares so many stages is his album “Playground”. Shimmering synth work occur to me as being stylistically more similar to progressive house than lots of surprises.
The final monitor, ”Prime” produces a fitting near. K3vin Envoy previewed its wistful piano melody in this album which he uploaded to his Facebook page the other day its raw uplifting emotion stays with you long after the song ends.
In many ways, “Playground” provides electronic-music artists tasked with navigating the post-EDM landscape a roadmap of sorts. It gracefully pays respect to the influences at its basis while concurrently refusing to stick to to the restrictive boundaries of genres, incorporating instrumentals and styles with such taste that each track of the album seems like just like the reasonable next step in the creative journey of a true mastermind.
