Description
Out this month, 'IAMREADY's statement says it all.??It's inherent in the album medium, but you only get one shot at your first longplayer. That blank canvass, the proverbial clean sheet - the one and only chance to drop that flawless debut into the discography. Artists approach their firsts in many different ways: the eclectic, the collaborative, the headline-chasing, the all-in/bases-covered. When it comes to ReOrder's however, he had one central mandate above all others: "deliver an album with as fewer preconceptions attached as possible". ??"I wanted this record to be a 'book' impossible to assess by its cover, says Tibor. One for people to listen to, to absorb and make their own minds up on. One that carried as fewer advance notions or biases as possible. To this end (not unreasonably after ten years) the producer placed full store in his own abilities - producing the tracks, almost without exception without co-producers. When artistic alliances did come to play a part, he wanted them to be with newer names/talent, which would slalom any/all predetermination traps. ??This, he correctly determined, would give it the singular and distinctive sound you'll now hear on 'IAMREADY'. Waves of chord and pad, picked out by elegantly played piano keys form 'Reinstate' - the beat-free intro piece, with which he cues the album. ReOrder then serves two numbers in quick succession sung by American singer/songwriter Weldon. Thus far largely only known within deep house circles, he brings both relatable edge to 'Entropy' & 'Gravity's verses, while their choruses become more metaphoric in nature. Near solo, Emma Chatt's voice carries the first half of 'Alive Tonight', before it catches a swell of Tibor's primetime synth sensibility. Meanwhile Lebanese vocalist Cassandra Grey adds her breath-stealing touch to 'Goodbye', finding pathos and bittersweet-ness to equalize the thrust of ReOrder's skybound studio work. ??In solo mode the Slovakian pushes further into the instrumental trance gamut.
