A thrilling joyride to the tranquil utopia pictured in the pinhole on the album cover, NOVA both excites and sparks curiosity. Paired with a provocative song name, instrumentals can have the most profound impact on someone, since every person interprets them differently.Īs RL Grime returns with his second album, he definitely utilizes this tactic. There’s a saying that goes, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” In music, I believe something analogous to that is “An instrumental is worth a thousand words.” However, this doesn’t mean exactly the same thing: as opposed to pictures depicting every single detail in a scene, instrumentals leave a song open to interpretation. People had been listening to so much mainstream pop music that they had forgotten what kind of untamed power was held by raw music, minus the superficial lyrics.
But it did, simply because it invoked so much emotion in its listeners. No one expected a purely instrumental song to gain so much airtime on the radio. When Martin Garrix made his breakthrough a few years ago with “Animals,” it came as a surprise. However, the incorporation of too-familiar voices and sounds distract and obscure the intent of the album. ⭐⭐⭐ – 3/5 Stars On his second full-length album, RL Grime attempts at a futuristic take on the modern electronic album, most apparent when he uses an instrumental approach that means so much more than lyrics.
