Cpen - Freestyle Mechanic

Cpen’s debut album, Freestyle Mechanic, dives into the heady waters of jazzy R&B, and Cpen manages to come up with some pearls. The grooves are laidback, the instruments harmonious, and the vibes easygoing. “Silver Surfer” glides along on waves of relaxation, while “Late Night (Outta Sight)” gives us a bass-driven journey through a starlit landscape. The funk comes alive on “Dr. Sparkle’s Theme”; “Hydroglide” gives us some light breaks. “Flathead” and “End of the Line” go for a slightly darker mood, though it’s still very mellow. A very chill album, perfect for midnight drives on a summer’s evening.
