Album Review: Dlinkwnt - Make It So

Sultry double bass on opener Master Class precedes an odd concoction of genres; split via Nick Johnson's catchy, distinctly Aussie rapping style and Aimee McClintock's swanky, soul voice, which she uses for some screeching vocal gymnastics. This offering revives that mid-noughties trend of combining funky horns with hip hop, as in Kanye's Touch The Sky. Although the EP does improve in subtlety with each track, and every musician in this outfit clearly possesses an abundance of skill, the combined effect is too polished; too extravagant, while forgoing – ironically – much in the way of soul.
