Modal Soul - 6.542/7.000 Nujabes’ elusive character—no concerts or interviews—only added to the heavy anticipation for most recent album, Modal Soul; the anticipation was thoroughly met. His standings in the semi-definable genre of “jazzy-hip/hop” stayed strong via numerous jazz samplings from Yusef Lateef to Miles Davis paired with incredible guest performances by rappers Cyne, Shing02 and Substantial of QN5, and even famed soul-man Terry Callier. What makes this album decidedly special however, is the huge variation of flavours between songs. Ranging from fluttery, whimsical melodies with a tight snare yet lulling vocals to deep bass, rapid rhymes, and philosophical invocations Nujabes delivers an immersing, well-rounded and wonderfully produced album, Modal Soul.
