Overview
This is a masterful and unique debut album, featuring a fusion of Jazz and House music that creates an immersive and expansive auditory experience. Although quite short at 34 minutes, the 11 tracks seamlessly blend together, fusing soulful Jazz improvisations with driving House rhythms. The result is both an innovative and accessible sound - a combination I wouldn’t have expected to work, but it does so beautifully. This album is an absolute testament to berlioz’s talent and a promising indication of his potential to make a significant impact on the contemporary music scene.
Recommended for listeners looking for a spicy new Jazz-style.

It suits the album’s vibe immaculately - it’s dreamy, airy, and vibey, serving as a great visual representation of the music within. berlioz has employed an art style that some might almost associate as uniquely his own after this album.
