Loa Project 2
Jazz so blunted you might as well wrap it in a Rizla. Joints so massive and underground you'll want to check your seismograph. Chill French vibes. Mad deck skills. Whatever it is, Cam can, and it's all here onLoa Project, Volume II. Taking its name from the protective voodoo spirit of Loa Mété, this latest release sees the elements of the funky Parisian's back catalog gettin' down together on some remote isle. "Millennium"  takes a midnight lope through Brooklyn by way of the Congo and aStaxrecord vault. The woozy piano and beats on "Juliet" stumble into the rough and ready East Coast stylings of "Mental Invasion." "Ganja Man" dabbles with, you guessed it, reggae. Turntablism aficionados will be most satisfied by "Candyman" and "Waiting for Franck Black." Fans of the downright odd, on the other hand, will delight as Cam hooksTimbaland-style beats to an R&B; slow burn for a reworking ofCole Porter's "You Do Something to Me."--Bob Michaels
