Customer Reviews
Future sound design at it's best
I gotta say, I'm a big fan of Vikter. His work with DJ Kicks, Jazzanova, Clara Hill, his various colaborations, all point to his futuristic, well structured music sensibilities. His first solo CD, International Affairs is still in heavy rotation in my ITunes playlist. Bold and Beautiful will be joining soon. There have always been exceptional musicians and tastemakers who work (almost unknown to the masses) shaping the current soundcape, imparting a particular vibe that slowly spreads across the dancefloors, lounges, and with luck, the radio. Vikter is one of the best of them. Vikter and Mark de Clive-Lowe share the same musical headspace.
He's from Philly, but he ain't got the cookie-cutter sound we've come to expect (which ain't bad-no dissing here). Where my favs, The Roots, Jill Scott, Lizz Fields went right, Vik went left, but they all interconnect in some way. Vikter is a major figure in the broken beat/nu-jazz movement, blending jazz, ethnic music and urban grooves. Duplaix's sound is an excellent mix of R&B, lounge-electronica and Future Funk. Most of Bold & Beautiful is laid-back, good for, ahh.. quiet times...but never letting up on the head-nod factor. Get this one!
Grown and Sexy
I enjoyed this CD very much. It is for people who have a mature taste in music. It is jazz oriented with an R&B feel and it is also very world music. It is truly worth the listen.
Moving and Mellow
I brought this mp3 after listening to the samples. I must say that this is one smooth and mellow album.
I'm not one for alot of the Neo-Soul stuff, but this one really caught my attention.
My personal favorites are: Make a Baby, Another Great Love
and the one that I have been repeatedly playing is: FOR LIFE.
With a nice glass of wine and that special one....it is on!
Much respect to you Vikter Duplaix.
