audio review : A Miracle ( album ) … Lyrical Lively

audio review : A Miracle ( album ) ... Lyrical Lively

This is Lyrical Lively’s first album since going viral, but it seems to have been released in its demo stage. The drums on a couple of songs; Lost Sheep and Blind Bartimaeus; sound unintentionally clipped, but the most obvious flaw is the awful vocal edit on Stand Up For Jesus. Even he couldn’t forgive such a sin. Not that the set isn’t decent overall.

audio review : Singing The Word ( album ) … Lyrical Lively

audio review : Singing The Word ( album ) ... Lyrical Lively

The title is mostly true. Lyrical Lively is Singing more and rapping less this time around. The elder; she was 74 on her previous album; actually performs her novelty on just one song; Holiness Is Beautiful. It; the best song; is also the only one she says Uh Huh on, which suggests it’s probably a leftover. This follow-up release is decent but inferior overall.

audio review : Uh Huh ( album ) … Lyrical Lively

audio review : Uh Huh ( album ) ... Lyrical Lively

This is the debut of Lyrical Lively; a 74-year-old rapper. That sentence sounds ridiculous, but give it a chance. The beats are much better than you’d expect. The first three songs are actually Good; perhaps more uplifting and certainly more accessible than the Christian God the reverend promotes obsessively. That’s more than I can say for most rap albums, gospel or otherwise.
