Kano album sampler leaked

"get wild" is actually ok, but oh my christ the rest of that track listing is not promising

production-wise what was once desperate pandering is now the ruling uk landscape; if kano can scrape together a bit of charisma from somewhere there's probably hits to be had i imagine. doubt it mind

i heard a song from this on the radio and it was so so bad

cred wise, hes doing the same as everyone else really, i just have a feeling kano wont know what to do with all these guests/pop & indie crossovers. again. curious to know what the hot chip collabos will be like. liked the last vybz kartel collabo kano did too (even if vybz made him look a bit weak) so that one could be ok.

It's actually Boys Noize who provoked the biggest eyeroll from me, you'd think they'd be able to split the difference between noisy electro and, well, grime, pretty well but I bet they can't. Also they produced the worst track on the Kelis album.

i don't recall offhand which one the boys noize/kelis one was but it def wasn't worse than "acapella"

anyway this is "get wild"

like...6/10? 7/10 when it gets to the chorus

Acapella is fine, it's no worst than most of the rest of the album, I'm convinced most of your hate is just down to "eww David Guetta".

1. 22nd Century has grown on me, it's definitely not "the worst"
2. Boys Noize = a "he" not a "they" (unless Alex Ridha and Erol have succeeded in genetically recomining themselves into one person)

kthxbye

This is not at all good so far and the track 'MAAD' has made me cringe like little else this year - at least it's the only thing Fraser T Smith produces on here :/

The one with Ghetts is pretty fun. On 'Slaves' he interpolates 'Baa Baa Black Sheep'. It is not easy to listen to.

Get Wild is pretty great, but Kano is sort of the worst thing about it - he used to sound so charismatic but somehow feels less so with every release.

Having trouble believing this will be worse than the Jammer album, which really is a complete mess, and not in a good way.

jammer album is not that bad. def a mess but redeemed slightly by a few standouts. not so redeemable - jammer generally sounding like hes only doing it for the sake of it in hope that some major will snap him up so he can get off big dada.

kano just sounds more desperate with each release.
he was good on the gorillaz soundtrack but he seems like someone that will only ever sound good when they know theyre popular.
til then hes just going to sound/be lost.

*sorry, gorillaz album.

one song on the new one, little sis, i think might be the best thing hes ever done.

Funny that, I thought it represented the now traditional point in a Kano album where the quality nosedives off a cliff never to recover.

idk, i now find him a little unconvincing doing songs like new banger, or hail even, though listening back to some of the older stuff, theres a certain lack of assurance in a lot of his vocals (once he got signed weirdly), which is why i think the softer parts of the album now seem to work better for me. in terms of writing, i think hes a lot more expressive than before, and there are a lot of lines on the album which i could not have imagined him writing earlier, so its nice to hear a bit more about him. i like the album purely for that. i find a lot of his production to be somewhat dreary, but somehow on little sis, its perfect. its like kano doing the streets.

🎤 this is such a minor thing to be gassed about from the show but in all the high levels of production, incredible band and backing singers. Things going back to basics for Class of De Ja passing one wired mic at RAH and murking is emotional 🔥 pic.twitter.com/DopjhowIp3

Even with the dodgy sound on the video this looks like absolute fire.
