DJ OKAWARI KALEIDOSCOPE CD FULL
Full of attitude, versatility and panache, she brings a touch of ‘ Alicia Keys-style’ ambience with meaningful lyrics about conquering struggles in life, taking us back to aesthetics of traditional black music. A particular highlight for me is ‘ Brighter Side’, sung by Amanda Diva. The roster of vocal talent in Kaleidoscope is wholly enchanting.

‘ U’ gives you a chance to sway their head or body, with support from Stacy Epps’ sweet flowery vocals, while ‘ Another Sky’ and ‘ A Cup of Coffee’ are pleasant hip-hop sketches that you may well catch in a local café, decorated with authentic jazz piano, guitar and sax tunes. Artist: DJ Okawari Title: Kaleidoscope Year of Release: 2011 Genre:Instrumentals, J-hop Track Listing: 1. It is impressive how in most of his tracks DJ Okawari carefully exploits his heritage by crafting melodies throughout his sonic journeys that sound inherently ‘Japanese’ and exotic, but makes it a relevant puzzle piece in a contemporary, hip-hop beat soundscape.Īrtists in this chilled, neo-soul lounge style often have the tendency to sound repetitious through an album, but DJ Okawari manages to pack a variety of musical backdrops and sonic flavours. ‘ Brown Eyes’ is another beautiful track where a ‘ Ryuichi Sakamoto style’ meets polished RnB beats: the poignant and heavenly high piano riff and arpeggios embellishes a subdued hip-hop drum line and soulful, rich vocals from Brittany Campbell, to produce an effect that is both foot-tapping and crystalline. The album opens with ‘ Encounter’, a seductive number with a classic neo-soul drum line, layered with a lush, celestial synth pad and piano octave riff, refined acoustic guitar strumming, jazzy saxophone melody and an unknown singer with a warm, smoky voice.
