The year is 2005 and the market for ringtones is at its zenith. The ads, particularly on popular music channels are full of annoying soliciting, especially a small, yellow chick. The neck is full of just this, published the Hamburg-based Bo Flower "Kill Sw *** ty" and thus moves on to regional attention. That this began in 1996 with Sable, published in 2004 a download album, and even beyond the year 2005 across was active, however, know only a very few. Proud 6 years now elapsed, and "Flo-builders" now appears the third album in his discography, simply titled after himself and comprising 12 pieces.
And where other artists like to talk once the most personal album of their career, to scratch it in the end, at best, only at the surface, Bo Flower is the consistent way. Even the view of the booklet reveals the open, honest character of the long player. One side consists of four sections divided in a welcome speech by which the buyer learns, among other things, that all the photographs that we considered here, used directly from life and photo shoots are not removed. Especially today, when a lot is set to perfectly orchestrated, contrived high gloss images, does this very down to earth and personal.
Personal is the right word, to bring the content line of the album on a common denominator. The love and the society as key issues that deterred Bo Flower not hesitate to process his own experiences in his plays and tell the world. As a result, is liable to the songs in something the audience can participate in the action. Instead of having to empathize with the aid of imagination in telling ghetto dramas have to feel one is reminded of his queen of hearts, feel your own desire to flee from or just take the affirmative statements about our company noted.
"Kuck in the world "for example, is one of those social analysis that reflect always very close to the state of affairs and thus the somewhat sobering truth. In this case, however, an overly pessimistic skillfully-depressive sound around them. "Take it Personal" is the musical work-up of 2008, as Bo Flower has personally experienced. And "Where Where Where" the track of the lost love, which takes only a little later in "Beautiful" or "never" two counterparts who speak of good fortune in a cozy twosome. Egoabfahrten and self-adulation to last one looks in vain. Technically sound
shows that the good man a Tendency to easily digestible hooks sung and has the rare unpleasant belch, but fit very well with the generally very bright sound. No ringtone pop-rap, but it is not the haze of dust-dry concrete metropolis. Rap from Hamburg halt. And why one or the other, reminiscent of Auto-Tune Vocal cosmetics, such as on "Hold" is not noticeable, negative, make "never" to even one of the strongest tracks on the album.
Granted, the exchange of love song about social criticism back into love turns out not always cross and also plenty of lines occurring on the happy togetherness may require a little tired or the right mood. If, however, closer to deal with Bo Flower, has a heart for honest rates and had no problems wandering around on the thin line between kitsch and goose bumps can be found in "Flo-builders" a very decent album, I like.
