This is head-nod music. Riding music. Music to relax, chill and vibe to.
G. Love turns guitar licks into feelings. Listeners can’t help but feel the grooves, letting go of whatever bad vibes they’ve clung to and just enjoying the words and rhythms. The meshing of rap, poetry and blues is Love’s forte, and here he does it to perfection.
“Can’t Go Back to Jersey,” for example, simply tells a story through catchy rhymes, piano run and well-timed harmonica tones. Backed by a host of greatly played tunes – “Rainbow,” “Banger” – Lemonade is worthy of a sip. | By Mr. Joe Walker
