Lightspeed Champion
Life Is Sweet! Nice To Meet You
A-
Lightspeed Champion’s (aka Devonte Hynes') latest album
Life Is Sweet! Nice to Meet You dropped the first of February and is a great follow-up to 2008’s
Falling Off the Lavender Bridge. Life is Sweet! definitely has the rise and fall necessary of a good folk album but separates itself in that Hynes’ lyrics and instrumentals are so pop-like and catchy that this is much more enjoyable than your average folk record. Then there’s “Etude Op. 3 ‘Goodnight Michalek’” which is a seemingly random, minute-forty-nine instrumental clearly rooted in the more classical styles of piano teaching. This particular track seems a little out of place, especially before the slightly more upbeat “Middle of the Dark,” but for some reason it works and therefore I don’t complain. Overall,
Life Is Sweet! is a pretty solid album that’s perfect for a chill autumn day or when you’re enjoying missed school days because the snowPOCALYPSE hit America.
Recommended Tracks: “Faculty of Fears”, “Marlene”, and Madame Van Damme”

yes
I really like when people are expressing their opinion and thought. So I like the way you are writing
No matter what others say, I think it is still interesting and useful maybe necessary to improve some minor things
