Slakadeliqs
The Other Side of Tomorrow
Self-Released
ADDS 3/13/12
DIGITAL ONLY

"Slakah the Beatchild has made such an impressive impact on the Canadian urban music scene these past few years that the long awaited offering from his alter ego, the Slakadeliqs, will likely be perceived as a sharp left turn. Although awash in folk, '70s rock, new wave and psychedelic influences, The Other Side of Tomorrow sounds as far from a gimmicky or indulgent side-project as is possible. What's remarkable is how flawlessly the Sarnia-born and Toronto-based producer/singer integrates these diverse sonic flourishes into a cohesive, organic and, yes, soulful whole. "Dear Lucy" has an uplifting funk/rock drive, seasoned with touches of flute and spacey synthesizer, while the cosmic "Love Controls the Sun," featuring Justin Nozuka's rich vocals, recalls the folksy warmth of Terry Callier before bursting into a rambunctious, bouncy groove, replete with a cabinet shaking thump and sing-along chorus. The acoustic, sunny duet with Tanika Charles, "Everything For Nothing," has an irresistible charm that perfectly condenses the album's feel-good vibe. On par with Slakah's previous offerings, Soul Movement Vol. 1 and Something Forever, The Other Side of Tomorrow is a fresh, funky and feel-good release that markedly raises the bar for Canadian soul music in 2012." - Exclaim!
