Casa Bey by Mos Def
Mos Def’s The Ecstatic, released June ’09, must live up to the hype that follows three years of inactivity. I saw Mos Def live at Sasquatch two weeks before his album dropped. To be honest he looked unmotivated and his stage presence was closer to that of a super model than a musician. However, one week following the concert 90′s nostalgia kicked in and I pre-ordered my copy from Amazon. While I’m still too unprepared to write an Album Review, what I can say is that Mos Def is a better studio artist than he is a live performer. My favorite track thus far off The Ecstatic has been “Casa Bey”, I’ve added it to several of my playlists and it grows on me with every playback. Other reviews I’ve read say that Mos Def has adopted a worldly sound with his latest album, however I found that “Casa Bey” uses little more than traditional Jazz instruments. Enjoy!
