Lemongrass - Passion Fruit |
|
After his 2009 album "Hypnosis", when we learned to know Roland Voss aka Lemongrass as an ambient artist, he reinvents himself once more with his brand-new effort "The 5th Dimension". On his eleventh album, the French influences of the predecessors "Pour L’Amour" (2008) and "Filmothèque" (2007) still shine through but the extraordinary voices of Karen Gibson Roc and Suzy Duffy add a completely new touch thanks to their NuSoul vocal style. Framed by sun-drenched, marvelously airy instrumentals and embellished with rolling beats, the album immediately turns on its charm. If "The 5th Dimension" were a bottle of wine you would have to describe it as superbly matured, full-bodied and abundant with fascinating nuances. As it is a music album you may depict it as an intriguing soundtrack for a journey through time and space towards its final destination: the soul, or the fifth dimension of human imagination.
