Dance Album Chart Radio 1 - K3vin Envoy's Playground
Through 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 introduced “Playground”, not only did he expose 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 dangers that are imaginative can definitely backfire. Were K3vin Envoy not the caliber of musician he’sproven himself to be, the manifold designs included into each track of “Playground”could have sounded as disconnected from one another as the tunes on Avicii’s sophomore album, Testimonies. Nonetheless, sufficient stylistic threads weave all the tracks together in such a way that although plenty of them can’t be categorized as just Progressive House. Sense is made by the Album In many ways, “Playground” gives electronic music artists tasked with navigating the post-EDM landscape a road map of sorts. It gracefully pays respect to the influences at its foundation while simultaneously refusing to adhere to the restrictive boundaries of genres, integrating instrumentals and styles with such style that every track of the album sounds like the reasonable next stage in the creative trip of an accurate mastermind. For that matter, K3vin Envoy surprises the listened with “Swinging”, it’s not a typical dance track style. Tracks like “Wut Makes U Tik”,”Tell Me The Trust” and “Playground” take into account enough of the DJ/producer’s signature type that he doesn’t appear flat-out ashamed of his roots.
“Get Lifted”, “Say Yes” and “For U” widen Envoy’s stylistic range dj k3vin further. For that matter, of all the 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 several levels is his album “Playground”. Shimmering synth function 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 anticipated and fitting look on the effort. Envoy’s verses exude a tenderness that perfectly accompanied the tracksebb and flow between melancholy and playful melodies. Still, 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 that you could not expect to hear in the album of an artist whose title frequents key EDM festival lineups.
The final track, “Prime” creates a fitting near. K3vin Envoy previewed its piano melody in this album which he uploaded to his Face-Book page a week ago its raw uplifting emotion stays with you long following the tune ends.
The song “Playground” reminds the listener what it was that set K3vin Envoy on the map to begin with. Having been invited to perform in the Full Moon Music Festival, it nearly arrived to prophesy his career arc within the span while presenting a more up beat incarnation of his progressive house style of the festival time that would follow.
K3vin Envoy makes his intentions known from the album intro, “Wut Makes U Tik” and development into ambient melodic components identified in “Let’s Kiss” that usher in a meandering musical progression using the light hearted tones of dance ethos to a point.
