WR7DVIEWS: TRAVIS SCOTT TOOK US TO UTOPIA
Jacques Bermon Webster II, better known by his stage name TRAVIS SCOTT delivered a phenomenally produced album titled UTOPIA on July 28th.
The sound design of the album is otherworldly, to say the least. It gives off a multidimensional, intergalactic feel. Something I know the aliens would probably be blasting through the speakers on their routine road trip to Earth.
The album includes genres like old-school hip-hop on "HYAENA", Southern African samples on "SIRENS" to even a somewhat 80s hip-hop-inspired track titled "MODERN JAM."
You can easily hear the range of talent from Travis as well as the artists who are featured on the project.
Travis addresses topics that hit close to home. Such as the events that took place in 2021 at the ASTROWORLD concert.
"MELTDOWN" features a very aggressive verse from Toronto's Very Own, Drake. Where he addresses his own beef with Pusha T and talks about how he melted down Pharrells chains due to his lack of respect for their heritage/history. In the next verse, Travis directs shots at Kylie Jenner's new boyfriend and makes it known that she will not "find another flame as hot" as him.
God, Angels, and Lucifer were heavily spoken of throughout the album. As is expected knowing how often Travis uses religious symbolism within his music videos and products.
There are so many quotable lyrics; I wasn't expecting such a profoundly lyrical project but I'm not mad at it. It makes the album all that much better.
I have to mention the Beyonc茅 feature on "DELRESTO (ECHOES)" sounded like something that could have been on her recent album release "RENAISSANCE" Beyonc茅 sounded like an angel who fell directly from heaven just to be on this track and it is absolutely on par with how the album makes you feel. Truly ethereal.
My favorite song on the album had to be "TELEKINESIS" which features artists Future and SZA. SZA sounded like a complete lunatic in her verse but it all the best ways! The lyrics were quite relateable and I just love a good Travis/SZA collaboration. Their sounds just work really well together.
21 Savages' feature on the last track "TIL FURTHER NOTICE" was another one of my favorites and was a great way to end this phenomenal piece of art.
