New Zealand soul musicians Fat Freddy's Drop bring their electronic funk talents to the fore in Blackbird, a new album featuring nine original tracks created in the band's own studio. Their rhythmic creation has a wild tendency to embed itself in the listener's ear, mind, and heart. A creative fusion of African-American music traditions and modern panache, Blackbird is vibrant, passionate, and highly recommended. The tracks are "Blackbird", "Russia", "Clean the House", "Silver and Gold", "Bones", "Soldier", "Never Moving", "Mother Mother", and "Bohannon".
