Hiatus Kaiyote – Mood Valiant

The nice Minnie Riperton vocal intro was soon forgotten as the jazzy offbeat rhythms threw me. Apart from the far superior Brand New Heavies this was not my area of expertise musically. It meandered through very similar sounding tracks with a repetitive bass drum rhythm in evidence. My confusion to the irregular style summed up by ‘All the words we don’t say’.  I’m sure many R&B fans would enjoy and it did improve on a 2nd listen.

Easiest track for me to enjoy was the piano led ‘Stone or Lavender’.
A down the middle 5/10 from me.
