One hell of an introduction.Įnergy! After the weight of “Expectations,” the warmth of “BGM” feels good. Wale came back on the gospel breakdown he’s hot enough to melt steel. Is this a gospel sample? The choir is raising the intro to the heavens. You can tell he spends a lot of time in his head, but the ideas don’t come out jumbled. “ Sue me, I’m rooting for everybody that’s black.” This is good. Wale’s delivery is stream-of-consciousness. The soulful smoothness reminds me of his It’s Complicated EP. It’s smooth, the production has a 40 feel. An R&B sample? I can’t grab it on first listen. Each song will receive my gut reaction from start to finish. In usual 1-Listen fashion, the rules are the same: no skipping, no fast-forwarding, no rewinding, and no stopping. © 2015 Def Jam Recordings, a division of UMG Recordings Inc.The question is: How will Wale push forward? After years of surviving the industry with poetic acrobatics and radio-ready melodies, Wow. That’s Crazy is yet another opportunity for Wale to show the world why he’s still around and not going anywhere.
