On first listen, Papalegba may remind you of a number of other bands. But by the time you make it halfway through their self-titled, full-length debut album, it will become obvious that Papalegba is not like any other band at all. Musically, Papalegba is a melting pot of many different styles, feels, and emotions that drive this 10 track gem. You’ll get everything from the grinding rock (Coronation) to the grooving roll (Tragedy) and the soulful, haunting ballad (Star). If you ask 10 people to name their favorite song on the record, you will surely get 10 different responses. That’s what this band was able to accomplish in its first EP attempt.
It may be easy to say that the powerful vocals of singer Chris Kinsey move this band. But if you listen closely, you’ll hear that this band truly is guitar driven. The masterful guitar layering on this record gives each and every song great depth which draws the listener in almost instantly. Then the vocals will move you. The songwriting is unquestionably solid, the playing is right on, and the production has made this a formidable first recording. Papalegba will make you move your head back and forth, they will make you groove in your seat, and they will send chills up your spine. Their debut record is certainly worth a listen, and then another and another. Check out the artist's website: http://www.papalegbamusic.com Track List: 1. Sun Will Rise 2. Tragedy 3. Coronation 4.
