Joe Lington’s “Black Desire” album is a delicious musical blend. It’s a mix of R&B and Soul that he’s poured his heart into. But what makes it unique is his multilingual effort in his songs, adding a cool twist to his music. Imagine the smoothness of French and the groove of English. It’s a delightful fusion.
The first track, “Black Desire,” kicks things off with a mesmerizing beat that pellets down like raindrops on hard ground. As the music gets your foot tapping, Joe’s voice comes in. He sings, “They call me black desire,” with a sultry whisper that sends shivers down your spine. There’s even a part where he talks with a layered hum underneath. It’s all about that desire and the call for equality, and you can feel it in the music.
In the fourth track, “Je Pleure,” the music takes a different turn. It’s as if you’ve stepped onto a dance floor. The beats are infectious, and Joe’s voice is a mix of catchy and sultry. The song makes you want to sway and move to the rhythm. The synths swirl trippily that’s both fun and entrancing.
The album ends on a high note with the 11th track, “On Dance.” The beats hit hard. And the electric guitar takes the spotlight, revving and grinding like a finely tuned engine. Joe’s voice is sweet and melodious. The musical adrenaline rush gets you dancing. It’s the perfect way to close the album.
Give “Black Desire” a listen and let the music transport you. What’s exciting is that Joe Lington is already working on his next album, “Pinkeen,” set to drop in 2024. So Stay tuned!
